- This paper explores the role of prosocial behaviour when people team up with robots in a collaborative game that presents a social dilemma similar to a public goods game. An experiment was conducted with the proposed game in which each participant joined a team with a prosocial robot and a selfish robot. During 5 rounds of the game, each player chooses between contributing to the team goal (cooperate) or contributing to his individual goal (defect). The prosociality level of the robots only affects their strategies to play the game, as one always cooperates and the other always defects. We conducted a user study at the office of a large corporation with 70 participants where we manipulated the game result (winning or losing) in a between-subjects design. Results revealed two important considerations: (1) the prosocial robot was rated more positively in terms of its social attributes than the selfish robot, regardless of the game result; (2) the perception of competence, the responsibility attribution (blame/credit), and the preference for a future partner revealed significant differences only in the losing condition. These results yield important concerns for the creation of robotic partners, the understanding of group dynamics and, from a more general perspective, the promotion of a prosocial society.

Social Robots in Therapy and Care
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction. - Daegu : IEEE conference proceedings. - 9781538685556 - 9781538685563 - 9781538685549 ; , s. 669-670

- The Social Robots in Therapy workshop series aims at advancing research topics related to the use of robots in the contexts of Social Care and Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT). Robots in social care and therapy have been a long time promise in HRI as they have the opportunity to improve patients life significantly. Multiple challenges have to be addressed for this, such as building platforms that work in proximity with patients, therapists and health-care professionals; understanding user needs; developing adaptive and autonomous robot interactions; and addressing ethical questions regarding the use of robots with a vulnerable population. The full-day workshop follows last year's edition which centered on how social robots can improve health-care interventions, how increasing the degree of autonomy of the robots might affect therapies, and how to overcome the ethical challenges inherent to the use of robot assisted technologies. This 2nd edition of the workshop will be focused on the importance of equipping social robots with socio-emotional intelligence and the ability to perform meaningful and personalized interactions. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and industry experts in the fields of Human-Robot Interaction, Machine Learning and Robots in Health and Social Care. It will be an opportunity for all to share and discuss ideas, strategies and findings to guide the design and development of robot assisted systems for therapy and social care implementations that can provide personalize, natural, engaging and autonomous interactions with patients (and health-care providers).

Personalization in Long-Term Human-Robot Interaction
- 2019

Ingår i: HRI '19. - : IEEE. - 9781538685556 ; , s. 685-686

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For practical reasons, most human-robot interaction (HRI) studies focus on short-term interactions between humans and robots. However, such studies do not capture the difficulty of sustaining engagement and interaction quality across long-term interactions. Many real-world robot applications will require repeated interactions and relationship-building over the long term, and personalization and adaptation to users will be necessary to maintain user engagement and to build rapport and trust between the user and the robot. This full-day workshop brings together perspectives from a variety of research areas, including companion robots, elderly care, and educational robots, in order to provide a forum for sharing and discussing innovations, experiences, works-in-progress, and best practices which address the challenges of personalization in long-term HRI.

Remote Supervision of an Unmanned Surface Vessel - a Comparison of Interfaces
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). - 9781538685556

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We compared three different Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that we have designed and implemented to enable human supervision of an unmanned ship. Our findings indicate that a 3D GUI presented either on a screen or in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting provides several objective and subjective benefits compared to a Baseline GUI representing traditional tools.

Comparing Human-Robot Proxemics between Virtual Reality and the Real World
- 2019

Ingår i: HRI '19. - : IEEE. - 9781538685556 ; , s. 431-439

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Virtual Reality (VR) can greatly benefit Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) as a tool to effectively iterate across robot designs. However, possible system limitations of VR could influence the results such that they do not fully reflect real-life encounters with robots. In order to better deploy VR in HRI, we need to establish a basic understanding of what the differences are between HRI studies in the real world and in VR. This paper investigates the differences between the real life and VR with a focus on proxemic preferences, in combination with exploring the effects of visual familiarity and spatial sound within the VR experience. Results suggested that people prefer closer interaction distances with a real, physical robot than with a virtual robot in VR. Additionally, the virtual robot was perceived as more discomforting than the real robot, which could result in the differences in proxemics. Overall, these results indicate that the perception of the robot has to be evaluated before the interaction can be studied. However, the results also suggested that VR settings with different visual familiarities are consistent with each other in how they affect HRI proxemics and virtual robot perceptions, indicating the freedom to study HRI in various scenarios in VR. The effect of spatial sound in VR drew a more complex picture and thus calls for more in-depth research to understand its influence on HRI in VR.

CARESSES : The Flower that Taught Robots about Culture
- 2019

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The video describes the novel concept of "culturally competent robotics", which is the main focus of the project CARESSES (Culturally-Aware Robots and Environmental Sensor Systems for Elderly Support). CARESSES a multidisciplinary project whose goal is to design the first socially assistive robots that can adapt to the culture of the older people they are taking care of. Socially assistive robots are required to help the users in many ways including reminding them to take their medication, encouraging them to keep active, helping them keep in touch with family and friends. The video describes a new generation of robots that will perform their actions with attention to the older person's customs, cultural practices and individual preferences.

Bodily Human Robot Interaction
- 2019
-
Ingår i: HRI '19. - : IEEE. - 9781538685556 - 9781538685563 ; , s. 683-684
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This workshop is dedicated to discuss and explore the specific interdisciplinary aspects of Bodily human robot interaction, and establish a common ground for this area as a recognized and continued research topic. Bodily interaction with robots and robotic devices is partially established in niche applications such as exoskeletons, assistive devices and advanced machines for physical training where bodily interaction is the application. Bodily interaction is expected to develop a broader role in human robot interaction, for instance in manufacturing and in social and entertainment robotics. The direct exchange of force and motion in bodily interaction create a range of engineering challenges, but also entwine engineering directly with topics that traditionally reside in the realm of health and humanistic science, from biomechanics to human's social responses to the prompting and responses of physical interaction.
