Safety at Stake
Autonomous drones are expected to become prevalent in populated environments such as warehouses, factories, and homes, where individuals and drones will coexist while independently performing tasks. However, the dynamics of this shared autonomy, particularly the spatial behaviors (proxemics) that arise in these settings, remain underexplored in the Human–Drone Interaction (HDI) field. Understanding how task-driven behaviors influence navigation a…
Enculturation modulates aesthetic judgments of dance
Seasonal and other festivities with dance and music shape individuals’ aesthetic sensitivity to their cultural heritage. Yet, there is little empirical research about the influence of culture on dance perception. To fill the gap, this paper presents a pre-registered experiment with 120 participants (Iranian, English, Southeast Asian), that investigated the influence of cultural group (categorical variable) and enculturation (continuous variables)…
The Role of Drone’s Digital Facial Emotions and Gaze in Shaping Individuals’ Social Proxemics and Interpretation
The potential for drones to engage with people and find applications in social contexts is often constrained by their mechanical design, leading to concerns and negative associations that significantly affect people’s acceptance of drones in their personal space. In this study, we explore how social cues can impact the spatial dynamic of Human–Drone Interaction. Within a fully immersive virtual environment, 25 participants engaged with and naviga…
Moving me, moving you
Aesthetics shape and color almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the products we interact with and the clothes we wear to the design of our homes and cities. However, many people associate aesthetics with art, and an historical academic interest in the factors that shape the experience of engaging with art has yielded rich insights into our understanding of the value and ubiquity of empirical aesthetics. While most existing research has fo…
Aesthetic appeal of dance actions depends on expressivity, liveness and audience characteristics
Kinematics in context
Intention prediction is essential for successful social interaction, but traditional research focusing solely on movement kinematics often overlooks the array of action possibilities in natural settings. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to explore intention prediction, analysing free-text responses from participants who watched videos of an actor reaching for a cup, bottle, or spoon, each with a distinct intention. Each video included …
Coping with Emotional Distress via Self-Disclosure to Robots
People often engage in self-disclosure and social sharing when trying to cope with emotional distress. This study introduces a novel long-term intervention designed to help informal caregivers cope with emotional distress by self-disclosing towards a social robot. Research indicates that informal caregivers frequently face challenges in handling the emotional and practical demands of caregiving, often experiencing a lack of social support and lim…
Co-existing with Drones
Numerous studies have investigated proxemics in the context of human–robot interactions, but little is known about whether these insights can be applied to human–drone interactions (HDI). As drones become more common in social settings, it is crucial to ensure they navigate in a socially acceptable and human-friendly way. Understanding how individuals position themselves around drones is vital to promote user well-being and drones’ social accepta…
Building Long-Term Human–Robot Relationships
While interactions with social robots are novel and exciting for many people, one concern is the extent to which people’s behavioural and emotional engagement might be sustained across time, since during initial interactions with a robot, its novelty is especially salient. This challenge is particularly noteworthy when considering interactions designed to support people’s well-being, with limited evidence (or empirical exploration) of social robo…
The McNorm library
The ability to exchange affective cues with others plays a key role in our ability to create and maintain meaningful social relationships. We express our emotions through a variety of socially salient cues, including facial expressions, the voice, and body movement. While significant advances have been made in our understanding of verbal and facial communication, to date, understanding of the role played by human body movement in our social inter…
Body Form Modulates the Prediction of Human and Artificial Behaviour from Gaze Observation
The future of human–robot collaboration relies on people’s ability to understand and predict robots' actions. The machine-like appearance of robots, as well as contextual information, may influence people’s ability to anticipate the behaviour of robots. We conducted six separate experiments to investigate how spatial cues and task instructions modulate people’s ability to understand what a robot is doing. Participants observed goal-directed and n…
Human–Robot Cooperation in Economic Games
Understanding how people socially engage with robots is becoming increasingly important as these machines are deployed in social settings. We investigated 70 participants’ situational cooperation tendencies towards a robot using prisoner’s dilemma games, manipulating the incentives for cooperative decisions to be high or low. We predicted that people would cooperate more often with the robot in high-incentive conditions. We also administered subj…
People’s dispositional cooperative tendencies towards robots are unaffected by robots’ negative emotional displays in prisoner’s dilemma games
The study explores the impact of robots' emotional displays on people's tendency to cooperate with a robot opponent in prisoner's dilemma games. Participants played iterated prisoner's dilemma games with a non-expressive robot (as a measure of cooperative baseline), followed by an angry, and a sad robot, in turn. Based on the Emotion as Social Information model, we expected participants with higher cooperative predispositions to cooperate less wh…
Social Robots for Supporting Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Diagnosis and Treatment
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder with profound public health impact due to its high prevalence, chronic nature, accompanying functional impairment, and frequently occurring comorbidities. Early PTSD symptoms, often observed shortly after trauma exposure, abate with time in the majority of those who initially express them, yet leave a significant minority with chronic PTSD. While the past several decades of PT…
Dissociating embodiment and emotional reactivity in motor responses to artworks
Social Robots on a Global Stage
Robotic agents designed to assist people across a variety of social and service settings are becoming increasingly prevalent across the world. Here we synthesise two decades of empirical evidence from human–robot interaction (HRI) research to focus on cultural influences on expectations towards and responses to social robots, as well as the utility of robots displaying culturally specific social cues for improving human engagement. Findings sugge…
Timing is everything
What constitutes a beautiful action? Research into dance aesthetics has largely focussed on subjective features like familiarity with the observed movement, but has rarely studied objective features like speed or acceleration. We manipulated the kinematic complexity of observed actions by creating dance sequences that varied in movement timing, but not in movement trajectory. Dance-naïve participants rated the dance videos on speed, effort, repro…
