van de Poel, I.R. (author), Frank, Lily Eva (author), Hermann, Julia (author), Hopster, Jeroen (author), Lenzi, Dominic (author), Nyholm, Sven (author), Taebi, B. (author), Ziliotti, E. (author)Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to nature. For example, social media challenges democracy; artificial intelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility to create artificial wombs may affect notions of motherhood and birth. Some have suggested that we address global...book 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

Gallagher, Conor Patrick (author), Niewiadomski, Radoslaw (author), Bruijnes, M. (author), Huisman, G. (author), Mancini, Maurizio (author)Commensality is defined as "a social group that eats together", and eating in a commensality setting has a number of positive effects on humans. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of technology on commensality by presenting an experiment in which a toy robot showing non-verbal social behaviours tries to influence a...conference paper 2020

Vroon, Jered (author), Englebienne, Gwenn (author), Evers, Vanessa (author)What if a robot could detect when you think it got too close to you during its approach? This would allow it to correct or compensate for its social ‘mistake’. It would also allow for a responsive approach, where that robot would reactively find suitable approach behavior through and during the interaction. We investigated if it is possible to...conference paper 2019

Ligthart, Mike E.U. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)After the novelty effect wears off children need a new motivator to keep interacting with a social robot. Enabling children to build a relationship with the robot is the key for facilitating a sustainable long-term interaction. We designed a memory-based personalization strategy that safeguards the continuity between sessions and tailors the...conference paper 2022

(author), Ferrari, Oriana Isabella (author), Malagon, Ignacio (author), Barakova, Emilia I. (author)There is growing interest in psychological interventions using socially assistive robots to mitigate distress and pain in the pediatric population. This work seeks to address the deficit in understanding of what features and functionality young children and their parents desire to help with pain management by using co-design, a common...conference paper 2022

Saad, E. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)This paper presents the design and evaluation of human-like welcoming behaviors for a humanoid robot to draw the attention of passersby by following a three-step model: (1) selecting a target (person) to engage, (2) executing behaviors to draw the target's attention, and (3) monitoring the attentive response. A computer vision algorithm was...conference paper 2019

Looije, R. (author)A young boy with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is supported by a social robot on the road to self-management. The robot has knowledge on the goals that the boy needs to reach, as discussed with his health care professional. The robot also knows the boy’s activity options and preferences. It suggests activities based on this knowledge, but also...doctoral thesis 2019

Coggins, T.N. (author)In the introduction of this thesis, I contend that robot ethics, as a research field, generally treats privacy as the appropriate distribution of information, and therefore overlooks privacy concerns raised by robots beyond this conceptualization’s purview. I illustrate this contention by evaluating a hypothetical case involving a household...doctoral thesis 2024

Paauwe, R.A. (author), Hoorn, J.F. (author), Konijn, E.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)In the near future, human-like social robots will become indispensable for providing support in various social tasks, in particular for healthcare (e.g., assistance, coaching). The perception of realism, in particular human-like features, can help facilitate mediated social interaction. The current study investigated the effects of form realism...journal article 2015

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)The aim of our work is to design bodily mood expressions of humanoid robots for interactive settings that can be recognized by users and have (positive) effects on people who interact with the robots. To this end, we develop a parameterized behavior model for humanoid robots to express mood through body language. Different settings of the...journal article 2015

Ligthart, Mike E.U. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)In this article we discuss two studies of children getting acquainted with an autonomous socially assistive robot. The success of the first encounter is key for a sustainable long-term supportive relationship. We provide four validated behavior design elements that enable the robot to robustly get acquainted with the child. The first are five...journal article 2022

Song, Heqiu (author), Tsiakas, K. (author), Ham, Jaap (author), Markopoulos, Panos (author), Barakova, Emilia I. (author)This research examines how to design social robots to support self-regulated learning skills for piano practice. More specifically, a social robot is used to provide feedback to children and initiate self-assessment. To assess the impact of this approach on children’s motivation and performance, we conducted an experiment in a music school...journal article 2023

Coggins, T.N. (author), Steinert, S. (author)Many researchers from robotics, machine ethics, and adjacent fields seem to assume that norms represent good behavior that social robots should learn to benefit their users and society. We would like to complicate this view and present seven key troubles with norm-compliant robots: (1) norm biases, (2) paternalism (3) tyrannies of the majority, ...journal article 2023

(author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author), Merks, Johannes H.M. (author)Objectives: Children with cancer often experience sleep problems, which are associated with many negative physical and psychological health outcomes, as well as with a lower quality of life. Therefore, interventions are strongly required to improve sleep in this population. We evaluated interactive education with respect to sleep hygiene with...journal article 2022
