Numerous researches have studied the development of robotics, especially socially
assistive robots (SAR), including the NAO robot. This small humanoid robot has a great …

Abstract Purpose Anthropomorphism in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered devices is being
used increasingly frequently in consumer-facing situations (eg, AI Assistants such as Alexa …

As robots become more prevalent in society, investigating the interactions between humans
and robots is important to ensure that these robots adhere to the social norms and …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

Standardized metrics for assessing the success of robots is a necessity for a research field to
compare and validate results. The Godspeed Questionnaire Series (GQS) is one of the most …

Communication between people is characterized by a broad range of nonverbal cues.
Transferring these cues into the design of robots and other artificial agents that interact with …

This paper presents a study in which children, four to six years old, were taught words in a
second language by a robot tutor. The goal is to evaluate two ways for a robot to provide …

Earlier theorizing suggested that an (artificial) agent that combines persuasive strategies will
be more persuasive. Therefore, the current research investigated whether a robot that uses …

To investigate whether a humanoid robot's use of gestures improves children's learning of
second language vocabulary, and if variation in gestures strengthens this effect, we …

Communication using manual (hand) gestures is considered a defining property of social
robots, and their physical embodiment and presence, therefore, we see a need for a …
