Participatory design (PD) has been used to good success in human-robot interaction (HRI)
but typically remains limited to the early phases of development, with subsequent robot …

Socially assistive robots have the potential to augment and enhance therapist's
effectiveness in repetitive tasks such as cognitive therapies. However, their contribution has …

Automated driving systems that share control with human drivers by using haptic feedback
through the steering wheel have been shown to have advantages over fully automated …

In this paper we propose a methodology for the creation of social interaction strategies for
human-robot interaction based on restricted-perception Wizard-of-Oz studies (WoZ). This …

Co-adaptive guidance in visual analytics is a mixed-initiative process in which both the user
