- This study investigates human perception of action similarities, where we explore patterns or clusters of similarities (similar actions)? Moreover, if there are clusters, what are the salient visual features of the action that humans rely upon? Insights to these questions are helpful to devise computational models to create visual primitives for human motion segmentation and understanding. Such models would be advantageous in understanding a human-event scenario or a human-robot interaction setting, for the model would find the same action regularities salient, as would a human. To that extent, we study how humans judge similarities between different familiar human hand based actions. A total of nineteen commonly seen kitchen based hand actions (e.g., cutting bread, washing dish) are chosen as stimuli. Participants performed two psychophysical experiments, an action similarity judgment task (experiment 1) and action discrimination task (experiment 2). Human judgment data are analyzed to see for human similarity patterns. Additionally, similarity patterns from three different visual computing algorithms for motion understanding (low-level spatial and velocity features), are used to compare against the human judgment patterns, which shows some overlap. We discuss the similarity patterns as a way to model action-perception that builds on action primitives.

Are ethics overlooked in the field of Human-Robot Interaction?

- There are, in any scientific research practice, ethical guidelines to adhere to. For example, the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct by the American Psychological Association (2017), WMA Declaration of Helsinki by the World Medical Association (2018), and Ethics for Researchers by the European Commission (2013), all offer principles on how to conduct research ethically. Although the formulations of guidelines vary, the following aspects are usually included: data protection, privacy, informed consent, deception, and debriefing. However, these aspects are rarely explicitly addressed in publications in the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Proper ethical conduct is an integral part of scientific research and ought to be included in this field as well. There might be societal implications if participants in HRI studies are deceived regarding the actual capabilities of social robots. A literature study is planned in order to investigate and analyse how ethical issues are considered in publications from the HRI 2018 conference, e.g., what ratio of publication dealing with human participants mention ethical aspects explicitly. The aim is to contribute to a methodology in HRI where ethical aspects have a significant bearing.

Beyond the Novelty Effect : Studying Long-Term Interactions with Social Robots in Elderly Care

- The older population is growing and society is facing an increase of people with cognitive disabilities, e.g. dementia. Social robots have the potential of providing company, lower stress levels and decrease loneliness. But there is only one robot that has been tested with controlled long-term repeated studies [Wada et al., 2005]. Because of this, there are no evidence that social robots have the same impact beyond the novelty effect, which is the tendency for performance to initially improve when new technology is instituted, and not because of any actual improvement. Therefore, I propose long-term pre-test post-test controlled group design studies with elderly people in care homes. But I also find it important to design and implement robots and other smart-home technique that brings a meaning to the user. My first project would therefore be to conduct a workshop design study with elderly people, both living at home and in elderly care homes, to assess what they want, think and need. Secondly, I plan to conduct a study at an elderly care home facility with the following scenario: A humanoid robot interview the residents about their life, with the purpose to measure the effects for human-robot interaction over time.

Probability, Paradoxes and Human Thinking

- Probability, related calculations and its interpretations are sometimes hard for people to grasp. This may be due to unreasonable or counterintuitive situations that they find in them. Here I take few probability and statistical paradoxes and discuss how people sometimes find them unreasonable, counterintuitive, etc. Often the problems and confusions are solved when the probabilities are interpreted correctly.
