  • Trust in Social Robots: Experimental Outcomes and Interactional Trajectories

    Open AccessGustav Lymer, Silvia Kunitz et al.ARTICLESymbolic Interaction2026

    This study examines interactions between students and a social robot in an experiment designed to explore students' trust in educational robots. In the experiment, 16 out of 22 students come to accept an erroneous solution to a mathematical task presented by the robot, even though the vast majority of students initially suggest the correct solution. While the experiment initially yields two outcomes—acceptance (16 students) and rejection (six stu…

  • Reshaping Higher Education Designs and Futures: Postdigital Co-design with Generative Artificial Intelligence

    Open AccessSandris Zeivots, Alison Casey et al.ARTICLEPostdigital Science and Education2025

    This article examines how collaborative design practices in higher education are reshaped through postdigital entanglement with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). We collectively explore how co-design, an inclusive, iterative, and relational approach to educational design and transformation, expands in meaning, practice, and ontology when GenAI is approached as a collaborator. The article brings together 19 authors and three open reviewe…

  • Is a Wizard-of-Oz Required for Robot-Led Conversation Practice in a Second Language

    Open AccessOlov Engwall, José Lopes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2022

    The large majority of previous work on human-robot conversations in a second language has been performed with a human wizard-of-Oz. The reasons are that automatic speech recognition of non-native conversational speech is considered to be unreliable and that the dialogue management task of selecting robot utterances that are adequate at a given turn is complex in social conversations. This study therefore investigates if robot-led conversation pra…

  • Identification of Low-engaged Learners in Robot-led Second Language Conversations with Adults

    Open AccessOlov Engwall, Ronald Cumbal et al.ARTICLEACM Transactions on Human-Robot…2022References: 20

    The main aim of this study is to investigate if verbal, vocal, and facial information can be used to identify low-engaged second language learners in robot-led conversation practice. The experiments were performed on voice recordings and video data from 50 conversations, in which a robotic head talks with pairs of adult language learners using four different interaction strategies with varying robot-learner focus and initiative. It was found that…

  • Robot Interaction Styles for Conversation Practice in Second Language Learning

    Open AccessOlov Engwall, José Lopes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2020Cited by: 5References: 12

    Four different interaction styles for the social robot Furhat acting as a host in spoken conversation practice with two simultaneous language learners have been developed, based on interaction styles of human moderators of language cafés. We first investigated, through a survey and recorded sessions of three-party language café style conversations, how the interaction styles of human moderators are influenced by different factors (e.g., the parti…
