This paper describes a robotic system that uses dance as a form of social interaction to
explore the properties and importance of rhythmic movement in general social interaction …

As robots move into everyday environments, we need to understand both the social and the
technical constraints and affordances for human-robot interaction. We use in situ evaluation …

As robots move into more human centric environments we require methods to develop
robots that can naturally interact with humans. Doing so requires testing in the real-world …

A design and manufacturing method is described for creating a motor tendon–actuated soft
foam robot. The method uses a castable, light, and easily compressible open-cell …

Games are often used to foster human partners' engagement and natural behavior, even
when they are played with or against robots. Therefore, beyond their entertainment value …

This article investigates the role of interaction kinesics in human–robot interaction (HRI). We
adopted a bottom-up, synthetic approach towards interactive competencies in robots using …

This paper discusses social robotics as a hybrid knowledge space that encourages
interaction and collaboration among many different disciplines: engineering, computer …

Children that have a disability are up to four times more likely to be a victim of abuse than
typically develo** children. However, the number of cases that result in prosecution is …

Robots designed to co-exist with humans in domestic and public environments should be
capable of interacting with people in an enjoyable fashion in order to be socially accepted …

Abstract Visual Perspective Taking (VPT) is the ability to see the world from another person's
perspective, taking into account what they see and how they see it, drawing upon both …
