Balancing personalization and privacy
The promise of Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) to deliver personalized care for older persons depends heavily on extensive data collection, raising concerns about privacy, autonomy, trust, and the limited involvement of older adults in shaping data-related configurations. This study examines how developers and researchers navigate the tension between personalization and privacy in the datafication process in SAR development for older people. We …
Enhancing Robot Understandability - A Model to Estimate Varying Levels of Discrepancy
For the widespread deployment of robots in everyday tasks, robot’s actions, decisions and intentions must be understood by users. A fundamental factor affecting robot understandability is the underlying discrepancy between the robot’s and human’s state-of-minds. This paper contributes to the field of robot understandability by providing valuable insights into how discrepancy and robot understandability are connected, how human behavior indicates …
A Transparency-Based Action Model Implemented in a Robotic Physical Trainer for Improved HRI
Transparency is an important aspect of human–robot interaction (HRI), as it can improve system trust and usability, leading to improved communication and performance. However, most transparency models focus only on the amount of information given to users. In this article, we propose a bidirectional transparency model, termed the transparency-based action (TBA) model, which allows the robot to take actions based on transparency information receiv…

Levels of Automation for a Mobile Robot Teleoperated by a Caregiver
Caregivers in eldercare can benefit from telepresence robots that allow them to perform a variety of tasks remotely. In order for such robots to be operated effectively and efficiently by non-technical users, it is important to examine if and how the robotic system’s level of automation (LOA) impacts their performance. The objective of this work was to develop suitable LOA modes for a mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) system for eldercare and ass…
Human Preferences for Robot Eye Gaze in Human-to-Robot Handovers
Between fear and trust
Politeness in Human–Robot Interaction
We studied politeness in human-robot interaction based on Lakoff's politeness theory. In a series of eight studies, we manipulated three different levels of politeness of non-humanoid robots and evaluated their effects. A table-setting task was developed for two different types of robots (a robotic manipulator and a mobile robot). The studies included two different populations (old and young adults) and were conducted in two conditions (video and…
Comply with Me
This study examines the effect of a COVID-19 Officer Robot (COR) on passersby compliance and the effects of its minor design manipulations on human–robot interaction. A robotic application was developed to ensure participants entering a public building comply with COVID restrictions of a green pass and wearing a face mask. The participants’ attitudes toward the robot and their perception of its authoritativeness were explored with video and quest…
Robotic System for Physical Training of Older Adults
Physical exercise has many physical, psychological and social health benefits leading to improved life quality. This paper presents a robotic system developed as a personal coach for older adults aiming to motivate older adults to participate in physical activities. The robot instructs the participants, demonstrates the exercises and provides real-time corrective and positive feedback according to the participant’s performance as monitored by an …
