On the Death of NAO
As a young and inherently interdisciplinary field, Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) shows evidence of multiple, competing and complementary epistemologies and methodologies. However, it is clear that HRI user studies are a valued, primary form of knowledge generation. How might this influence, and be influenced by choice of experimental robot platform? Once a clear, common platform of choice, the number of HRI conference papers detailing work utilis…
The complexities of smartification
Smart cities build on visions for using technology to optimise various infrastructural functions andãmake city management more efficient, sustainable, and reliable. However, scholarship on smart cities has drawn attention to how data-centric planning simplifies the complexity of the urban environment and how a dichotomous approach to smart cities as either top-down or bottom-up may be overly reductive. This paper attempts to remedy this divide by…
Affective Corners as a Problematic for Design Interactions
Domestic robots are already commonplace in many homes, while humanoid companion robots like Pepper are increasingly becoming part of different kinds of care work. Drawing on fieldwork at a robotics lab, as well as our personal encounters with domestic robots, we use here the metaphor of “hard-to-reach corners” to explore the socio-technical limitations of companion robots and our differing abilities to respond to these limitations. This article p…
Objectively measured facial traits predict in-person evaluations of facial attractiveness and prosociality in speed-dating partners
What Does It Mean to Measure a Smile? Assigning numerical values to emotions
This article looks at the implications of emotion recognition, zooming in on the specific case of the care robot Pepper introduced at a hospital in Toronto. Here, emotion recognition comes with the promise of equipping robots with a less tangible, more emotive set of skills – from companionship to encouragement. Through close analysis of a variety of materials related to emotion detection software – iMotions – we look into two aspects of the tech…
The role of sensors in the production of smart city spaces
Smart cities build on the idea of collecting data about the city in order for city administration to be operated more efficiently. Within a research project gathering an interdisciplinary team of researchers - engineers, designers, gender scholars and human geographers - we have been working together using participatory design approaches to explore how paying attention to the diversity of human needs may contribute to making urban spaces comforta…
Sustainability Means Inclusivity
The challenge of how cities can be designed and developed in an inclusive and sustainable direction is monumental. Smart city technologies currently offer the most promising solution for long-term sustainability, but the impact of such solutions will be significantly reduced without long-term, widespread adoption by citizens. In this article, we present the rationale behind an ongoing interdisciplinary research project titled “Sustainability mean…
Excavations at Fin Cop, Derbyshire
A programme of archaeological investigation took place on Fin Cop hillfort, in the Derbyshire Peak District, during the summers of 2009 and 2010. In total fifty test-pits and eight trenches were excavated, revealing evidence for a Mesolithic quarry site, and sporadic evidence for Neolithic and Beaker period activity. An assemblage of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age ceramics was recovered from the interior of the fort in association with rock-cut p…
The body electric
The aim of this study was to replicate survey research demonstrating a correlation between adults' thin-ideal media exposure and eating disorders (Harrison & Cantor, 1997) with a sample of 366 adolescents. Measures included interest in body-improvement media content, exposure to thin-ideal television and magazines, exposure to fat-character television, exposure to sports magazines, and eating-disorder symptomatology. Exposure to fat-character tel…

Some Initial Approaches to Continuous Evaluation of a County Mental Health Program—An Interim Report
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between gender, discourse and technology, and the resulting construction of bodily norms, in a contemporary environment dominated by info- and bio-technologies. The premise from which this study starts is that the ‘intra-action’ between gender, discourse and technology plays a central role in shaping contemporary identities. The study is based on close readings of material from three case studi…
