As the field of social robotics is growing, a consensus has been made on the design and
implementation of robotic systems that are capable of adapting based on the user actions …

The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of
issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human …

Assessment and evaluation methodologies as well as combinations of them, for modelling of
Human–Robot Interaction (HRI), are reviewed extensively and thoroughly in this paper …

This paper seeks to better understand the use of haptic feedback in abstract, ubiquitous
robotic interfaces. We introduce and provide preliminary evaluations of SwarmHaptics, a …

Communication cues, eg, gaze behaviors and touch styles, are essential factors in the close
interaction of people with social robots. Even though the communication cues are broadly …

Person identification with accurate position information is essential for providing location-
based services in real environments, such as a shopping mall. For this purpose, we propose …

Haptic interaction is a key capability for social robots that closely interact with people in daily
environments. Such human communication cues as gaze behaviors make haptic interaction …

Robotic 'pets,'technological emulations of companion animals, have become increasingly
complex and broadly disseminated to teaching empathy. They are part of a trend toward …

Social well-being, referring to a subjectively perceived long-term state of happiness, life
satisfaction, health, and other prosperity afforded by social interactions, is increasingly being …

One of the known challenges in Children Robot Interaction (cHRI) is to sustain children's
engagement for long-term interactions with robots. Researchers have hypothesised that …
