Designing Robot Identity
Perceptions of gender have a significant impact on human-human interaction, and gender has wide-reaching social implications for robots intended to interact with humans. This work explored two flexible modalities for communicating gender in robots–voice and appearance–and we studied their individual and combined influences on a robot’s perceived gender. We evaluated the perception of a robot’s gender through three online studies. First, we conduc…
Design Metaphors for Understanding User Expectations of Socially Interactive Robot Embodiments
The physical design of a robot suggests expectations of that robot’s functionality for human users and collaborators. When those expectations align with the robot’s true capabilities, users are more likely to adopt the technologies for their intended use. However, the relationship between expectations and socially interactive robot design is not well understood. This article applies the concept of design metaphors to robot design and contributes …
Viewpoint-based legibility optimization
Much robotics research has focused on intent-expressive (legible) motion. However, algorithms that can autonomously generate legible motion have implicitly made the strong assumption of an omniscient observer, with access to the robot's configuration as it changes across time. In reality, human observers have a particular viewpoint, which biases the way they perceive the motion. In this work, we free robots from this assumption and introduce the …
