Our transportation field has recently witnessed an arms race of neural network-based trajectory predictors. While these predictors are at the core many applications such as autonomous navigation or pedestrian flow simulations, their adversarial robustness not been carefully studied. In this paper, we introduce a socially-attended attack to assess social understanding prediction models in terms ...

1 Introduction Humans are at once phylogenetically linked to, and yet fundamentally different from, other primates. Most profound among these differences is the extent of our reliance on culture, by which I mean socially transmitted information shared by at least some members of the learner's group. While recent work reveals the existence of socially transmitted foraging techniques and social b...

Personal robots and screen agents can be equipped with social abilities to facilitate interaction. This paper describes our research on the influence of these abilities on elderly user’s acceptance of such a system. Experiments were set up in eldercare institutions where a robotic and screen agent with simulated conversational capabilities were used in a Wizard of Oz experiment. Both agents wer...

Effectively solving the problem of when and where to forage is critical for survival in many animal species. The task is further complicated when there are other agents, potentially competing for the same limited resources. Previous models of foraging consider agents either in isolation or in groups but without competition. Here, we present a novel Bayesian model for competitive foraging, Socia...

Introduction Roboticists in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI) are seeking to develop algorithms and methods for interactive robots that teach, help, and play with human users [6]. Our work is exploring facets of joint attention, a foundational social skill that is learne...

background and objectives: medical ethics has a long history worldwide; although it is a new scientific discipline. also, it is not just for a specific single group or discipline in a treatment team; it is the entire medical community who benefits from it. given the importance of this issue, this study examined the viewpoints of the specialist physicians in qom province on the most common issue...

Based on the information that was collected County Health Rankings website [1], one of top health concerns for Maricopa sexually transmitted infections or STIs. A big concern with STIs is this not a common subject explored in educational settings addressed socially. There are many organizations, including CDC, have access to materials, there limited distribution content. Therefore, public well ...
