This paper makes the case for designing interactive robots with their expressive movement
in mind. As people are highly sensitive to physical movement and spatiotemporal …

In this work, we present a robotic storytelling system, where the characters have been
modelled as cognitive agents embodied in Pepper and NAO robots. The characters have …

Robots that can talk and move may turn from tools to potential participants, which poses new
methodological challenges, particularly for transcription. This chapter first presents best …

The creation and telling of stories is thought to be a basic human characteristic. All societies
we know of have stories as part of their culture, with dramatic enaction and recitation—often …

In human-human interaction, three modalities of communication (ie, verbal, nonverbal, and
paraverbal) are naturally coordinated so as to enhance the meaning of the conveyed …

Socially assistive robots could contribute to fulfilling an important need for interaction in
contexts where human caregivers are scarce–such as art therapy, where peers, or patients …

This paper describes a system which has been used to automatically create an annotated
corpus of stories. This corpus can be exploited by a robotic storyteller. In a first phase stories …

In the increasingly popular and diverse research area of social robotics, the primary goal is
to develop robot agents that exhibit socially intelligent behaviour while interacting in a face …

I have been involved with robotics since 1992 working with LP Demers on many different
interactive robotic installations on a creative and artistic level. 1 We use robotics and …

Engaging storytelling is a necessary skill for humanoid robots if they are to be used in
education and entertainment applications. Storytelling requires that the humanoid robot be …
