Koerten, K.O. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)Robotic assistance for work processes in the hospitality industry is receiving increased attention both in the hospitality industry and in academic research. Unfortunately, academic literature about hospitality robotics is currently disjointed, making it hard for hospitality professionals to decide which processes to target, and which...book chapter 2023

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Mood contagion is an automatic mechanism that induces a congruent mood state by means of the observation of another person's emotional expression. In this paper, we address the question whether robot mood displayed during an imitation game can (a) be recognized by participants and (b) produce contagion effects. Robot mood was displayed by...conference paper 2014

Cencen, A. (author), Verlinden, J.C. (author), Geraedts, J.M.P. (author)The industry is working towards manufacturing systems consisting of a blend of humans and robots. We look at the development of these systems in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). Also, it is believed that industrial robots with collaboration capabilities with humans will play a crucial role in the change towards reconfigurable...conference paper 2015

Horsch, C.H.G. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Cuijpers, R.H. (author)In urban search and rescue (USAR) situations resources are limited and workload is high. Robots that act as team players instead of tools could help in these situations. A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment was set up to test if team performance of a human-robot team increases when the robot act as such a team player. Three robot settings were...conference paper 2013

(author), Oertel, Catharine (author)How human-like do conversational robots need to look to enable long-term human-robot conversation? One essential aspect of long-term interaction is a human's ability to adapt to the varying degrees of a conversational partner's engagement and emotions. Prosodically, this can be achieved through (dis)entrainment. While speech-synthesis has...conference paper 2021

Cila, N. (author), Zaga, Cristina (author), Lupetti, M.L. (author)This paper is a methodological replication of Barendregt et al. [11], who urged Child-Computer Interaction field to embrace Intermediate Level Knowledge as a meaningful and valid way of generating knowledge. We extend this epistemological gap to the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Currently, artefact-centered papers - papers that present the...conference paper 2021

Lupetti, M.L. (author), Bendor, R. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author)This paper suggests robot citizenship as a design perspective for attending to the sociality of human robot interactions (HRI) in the near future. First, we review current positions regarding robot citizenship, which we summarise as: human analogy, nonhuman analogy and socio-relationality. Based on this review, we then suggest an understanding...conference paper 2019

Aschenbrenner, D. (author), van Tol, D.H. (author), Rusak, Z. (author), Werker, C. (author)This paper proposes to use Virtual Reality scenarios to explore the reaction of stakeholders within an innovation process in the context of the introduction of robots working in close collaboration with users. The goal is to design the system upfront in such a way, that it is not perceived as a threat to the worker or his/her job. Within the...conference paper 2020

Ross, Martin (author), Broz, F. (author), Baillie, Lynne (author)Adherence to repetitive rehabilitation exercises is important in motor recovery after stroke. Similarly, repetitive solo practice exercises can improve the skill level of sports players. In both of these scenarios, regular human coaching has benefits, but in practice, the required training is often carried out alone, resulting in lowered...conference paper 2021

Ostrowski, Anastasia (author), Puljiz, David (author)The word "robot"frequently conjures unrealistic expectations of utilitarian perfection: tireless, efficient and flawless agents. However, real-world robots are far from perfect - they fail and make mistakes. Thus, roboticists should consider altering their current assumptions and cultivating new perspectives that account for a more complete...conference paper 2021

Aiple, M. (author), Schiele, A. (author)Variable stiffness actuators undergo lower peak force in contacts compared to their rigid counterparts, and are thus safer for human-robot interaction. Furthermore, they can store energy in their elastic element and can release it later to achieve human-like dynamic movements. However, it is not clear how to integrate them in teleoperator...conference paper 2017

Zhou, Y.

This highlights the importance of robots detecting and adapting to the perceived appropriateness of their behavior, in line with what we found in a...conference paper 2023

Saad, E. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)The design space of human-robot interaction is large and multi-dimensional. A sound design requires a systematic theory-driven exploration, specification and refinement of design variables. There is a need for a practical method and tool to iteratively specify the content of the dialogue (e.g., speech acts) with the accompanying expressive...conference paper 2020
