Robot navigation in crowded public spaces is a complex task that requires addressing a
variety of engineering and human factors challenges. These challenges have motivated a …

The goal of this survey is to inform the design and usage of nonverbal signals for human-
robot interaction. With robots being increasingly utilized for tasks that require them to not …

Studies and concepts for social companion robots in therapy and care exist, however, they
often lack the integration of convincing behavioral and social key mechanisms which enable …

As robots start to work alongside people, they are expected to coordinate fluently with
humans in teams. Many researchers have explored the problems involved in building more …

With the advances in robotic technology, research in human-robot collaboration (HRC) has
gained in importance. For robots to interact with humans autonomously they need active …

The robotics community continually strives to create robots that are deployable in real-world
environments. Often, robots are expected to interact with human groups. To achieve this …

As robots enter human environments, they will be expected to collaborate and coordinate
their actions with people. In order for robots to become more fluent at this, particularly in …

Interactive behavior among humans is governed by the dynamics of movement
synchronization in a variety of repetitive tasks. This requires the interaction partners to …

Human–human joint-action in short-cycle repetitive handover tasks was investigated for a
bottle handover task using a three-fold approach: work-methods field studies in multiple …

In human groups performing oscillatory tasks, it has been observed that the frequency of
participants' oscillations reduces when compared to that acquired in solo. This experimental …
