“Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a challenging research field at the intersection of psychology, cognitive science, the social sciences, artificial intelligence, computer science, robotics, engineering and human-computer interaction (Dautenhahn, 2007).” This broad field encompasses almost all situations where humans and robots are co-located and many methodologies and approaches are borrowed f...

Recent work identified a concerning trend of disproportional gender representation in research participants Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Motivated by the fact that Human–Robot (HRI) shares many participant practices with HCI, we explored whether this is mirrored our field. By producing dataset covering all 684 full papers published at HRI conference from 2006–2021, identify current trends ...

The success of a social robot relies on its interactions with humans. To enhance human-robot interaction I looked toward useful forms of communication in human-human interaction. Humans communicate through verbal and non-verbal cues, in particular, my study focuses on eye gaze and the effects of its application on human-robot interaction. Specifically, I wanted to know whether having a robot ex...

1 Our aim Many intelligent robots have already been developed for entertaining people or providing useful information. Such robots need capability of human-robot interaction to be a communication partner of the human. Our aim is to achieve human-robot interaction which is as natural as human-human interaction. 2 Why do people feel shy about interaction with robot? When we exhibited our robots R...

Human personality has been identified as a predictor of robot acceptance in the human–robot interaction (HRI) literature. Despite this, HRI literature provided mixed support for this assertion. To better understand relationship between human and acceptance, paper conducts meta-analysis 26 studies. Results found positive acceptance. However, varied greatly by specific trait along with study samp...

For the human-robot communicative interaction, it is difficult to design robots behavior which is preferable to human. In this paper, therefore, we propose an approach to personality characterization of the face robot generated by reinforcement learning with human instruction, and investigate its characteristics from some real human-robot interaction. We found that the face robot personality ch...

Gaze following occurs automatically in social interactions, but the degree to which gaze is followed depends on whether an agent is perceived to have a mind, making its behavior socially more relevant for the interaction. Mind perception also modulates the attitudes we have toward others, and determines the degree of empathy, prosociality, and morality invested in social interactions. Seeing mi...

This paper proposes a novel interaction model for human-robot cooperative task. The point of the interaction model is an introduction of CEA (Commands Embedded in Actions) by which a human work-load is reduced because it need less inputs and outputs of a user of a robot than that of using direct commanding methods in a conventional interaction model. We build a procedure of the design for the p...
