The Impact of Robot Role and Personality on Participants’ Perception of the Robot in a Human–Robot Teaching Task
A better understanding of how humans perceive robot personality variables could enable the design of more socially acceptable robots. In this exploratory study, we examined whether manipulations of an iCub robot’s voice and movements affected human participants’ perceptions of the robot’s personality. We programmed the robot to behave in different ways during a teaching scenario in which it played either a teaching, learning, or collaborative rol…
Can Social Robots Improve People’s Attitudes toward Individuals Who Stutter
Public attitudes toward stuttering are rooted in stereotypes and misconceptions, leading to negative reactions and discrimination against individuals who stutter. Previous research highlights the positive impact of educational interventions on people’s attitudes toward stuttering. The potential of social robots as an educational tool in the context of stuttering awareness remains unexplored. In the present study, we investigate whether a social r…
The Role of Social Norms in Human–Robot Interaction
As robots integrate more into daily life, socially aware robots with specific social attributes and behaviors are necessary. This review aims to explore how social norms in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) impact robot design and human perception. We searched for relevant articles in the following databases: ACM Digital Library, IEEE Digital Library, Scopus, Springer Link, and PsycINFO. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final set of…
Systematic Review of Social Robots for Health and Wellbeing
Social robots have great potential in supporting individuals’ physical and mental health/wellbeing. While they have been increasingly evaluated in some domains, such as with children with autism, their evaluation has not been as extensive in other areas. We present a systematic review of domains in which social robots have been evaluated specifically in health/wellbeing contexts. We ask which robots have been evaluated, who the participants were,…
Examining the Impact of Robot Norm Violations on Participants’ Trust, Discomfort, Behaviour and Physiological Responses—A Mixed Method Approach
As robots increasingly permeate diverse domains like healthcare, education, service industries and homes, accurately understanding humans’ responses to and behaviour towards robots is crucial. While many human-robot interaction (HRI) studies focus on either quantitative or qualitative approaches, we advocate a mixed-method approach. This study investigated robot norm violations by implementing a scenario where a mobile manipulator robot and a hum…
Clinicians’ Opinions, Suggestions, and Concerns Using Social Robots in Psychological Practice
In the past decade, technology-assisted interventions for mental health have been growing. To appropriately design technologies to support mental health, such as social robots, a crucial step involves understanding the perspectives, needs, and concerns of clinicians who deliver mental health services. Our research aims to understand mental health clinicians’ perspectives on the use of social robots within various aspects of clinical practice. We …
Continual Learning Through Human-Robot Interaction
Social Referencing Disambiguation with Robot Mental Imagery for Domestic Service Robots
System Development and Evaluation of a Social Robot as a Public Speaking Coach
A Human-Centered View of Continual Learning
Continual learning (CL) has emerged as an important avenue of research in recent years, at the intersection of Machine Learning (ML) and Human–Robot Interaction (HRI), to allow robots to continually learn in their environments over long-term interactions with humans. Most research in CL, however, has been robot-centered to develop CL algorithms that can quickly learn new information on systematically collected static datasets. In this article, we…
University Students’ Opinions on Using Intelligent Agents to Cope with Stress and Anxiety in Social Situations
In recent years, university students have reported increased symptoms of stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact their mental well-being and academic performance. However, many students do not seek or receive support for these challenges. With recent technological advances in intelligent agents and their expanding capabilities, there is a potential for intelligent agents to extend and complement mental health care interventions and enhanc…
How Non-experts Kinesthetically Teach a Robot over Multiple Sessions
In real-world applications, robots should adapt to users and environments; however, users may not know how to teach new tasks to a robot. We studied whether participants without any experience in teaching a robot would become more proficient robot teachers through repeated kinesthetic human–robot teaching interactions. An experiment was conducted with twenty-eight participants who were asked to kinesthetically teach a humanoid robot different cle…
How Do We Perceive Our Trainee Robots? Exploring the Impact of Robot Errors and Appearance When Performing Domestic Physical Tasks on Teachers’ Trust and Evaluations
To be successful, robots that can learn new tasks from humans should interact effectively with them while being trained, and humans should be able to trust the robots’ abilities after teaching. Typically, when human learners make mistakes, their teachers tolerate those errors, especially when students exhibit acceptable progress overall. But how do errors and appearance of a trainee robot affect human teachers’ trust while the robot is generally …
The Zoomorphic Miro Robot’s Affective Expression Design and Perceived Appearance
Developing Kaspar
In the late 1990s using robotic technology to assist children with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASD) emerged as a potentially useful area of research. Since then the field of assistive robotics for children with ASD has grown considerably with many academics trialling different robots and approaches. One such robot is the humanoid robot Kaspar that was originally developed in 2005 and has continually been built upon since, taking advantage of tec…
Robo Ludens
The use of games as vehicles to study human-robot interaction (HRI) has been established as a suitable solution to create more realistic and naturalistic opportunities to investigate human behavior. In particular, multiplayer games that involve at least two human players and one or more robots have raised the attention of the research community. This article proposes a scoping review to qualitatively examine the literature on the use of multiplay…

A Novel Reinforcement-Based Paradigm for Children to Teach the Humanoid Kaspar Robot
This paper presents a contribution aiming at testing novel child–robot teaching schemes that could be used in future studies to support the development of social and collaborative skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We present a novel experiment where the classical roles are reversed: in this scenario the children are the teachers providing positive or negative reinforcement to the Kaspar robot in order for it to learn arbitr…

Firstly, we carried out a large-scale survey trying to identify…
Socially Intelligent Agents
Socially situated planning provides one mechanism for improving the social awareness ofagents. Obviously this work isin the preliminary stages and many of the limitation and the relationship to other work could not be addressed in such a short chapter. The chief limitation, of course, is the strong commitment to de?ning social reasoning solely atthe meta-level, which restricts the subtlety of social behavior. Nonetheless, our experience in some r…
