Hindriks, Frank (author), Veluwenkamp, H.M. (author)Responsibility gaps concern the attribution of blame for harms caused by autonomous machines. The worry has been that, because they are artificial agents, it is impossible to attribute blame, even though doing so would be appropriate given the harms they cause. We argue that there are no responsibility gaps. The harms can be blameless. And if...journal article 2023

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

(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

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

Koeman, Vincent J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Gratch, Jonathan (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Effective use of negotiation support systems depends on the systems capability of explaining itself to the user. This paper introduces the notion of an explanation matrix and an aberration detection mechanism for bidding strategies. The aberration detection is a mechanism that detects if one of the negotiating parties deviates from their...conference paper 2021

Wolter, R.C. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Samur, Dalya (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)The commercial availability of robots and voice-operated smart devices such as Alexa or Google Home have some companies wondering whether they can replace some current human interactions by using these devices. One such area of interaction is at the reception desk. While both platforms can offer the necessary interaction features to take on...conference paper 2020

(author), Robbins-van Wynsberghe, A.L. (author)We define hybrid intelligence (HI) as the combination of human and machine intelligence, augmenting human intellect and capabilities instead of replacing them and achieving goals that were unreachable by either humans or machines. HI is an important new research focus for artificial intelligence, and we set a research agenda for HI by...journal article 2020

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

(author)To improve a negotiator's ability to recognise bidding strategies, we pro-actively provide explanations that are based on the opponent's bids and the negotiator's guesses about the opponent's strategy. We introduce an aberration detection mechanism for recognising strategies and the notion of an explanation matrix. The aberration detection...conference paper 2019

(author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Olde Rikkert, Marcel G.M. (author)Background /Objectives: Healthcare professionals (HCP) are confronted with an increased demand for assessments of important health status measures, such as patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM), and the time this requires. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of using an HCP robot assistant, and...journal article 2019

Boumans, R.J.L. (author), van Meulen, Fokke (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Olde Rikkert, Marcel (author)Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are an essential means for collecting information on the effectiveness of hospital care as perceived by the patients themselves. Especially older adult patients often require help from nursing staff to successfully complete PROMs, but this staff already has a high work load. Therefore, a social robot...journal article 2019

Hindriks, K.V. (author), Boumans, R.J.L. (author), van Meulen, Fokke (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Olde Rikkert, Marcel (author)We are designing a social robot to collect patient data in hospitals by interviewing patients. This task is crucial for improving and providing value-based care. Currently, professional caretakers administer self-reported outcome questionnaires called patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to collect this data. By delegating this task to a...journal article 2018

Rozemuller, C.G. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)Exploration games are games where agents (or robots) need to search resources and retrieve these resources. In principle, performance in such games can be improved either by adding more agents or by exchanging more messages. However, both measures are not free of cost and it is important to be able to assess the trade-off between these costs...conference paper 2018

Koeman, V.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)When an agent program exhibits unexpected behaviour, a developer needs to locate the fault by debugging the agent’s source code. The process of fault localisation requires an understanding of how code relates to the observed agent behaviour. The main aim of this paper is to design a source-level debugger that supports single-step execution of a...journal article 2017

Bulling, N. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author)We propose a new strategic model of negotiation, called Boolean negotiation games. Our model is inspired by Boolean games and the alternating offers model of bargaining. It offers a computationally grounded model for studying properties of negotiation protocols in a qualitative setting. Boolean negotiation games can yield agreements that are...conference paper 2016

Bagosi, T. (author), de Greeff, J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)The design of cognitive agents involves a knowledge representation (KR) to formally represent and manipulate information relevant for that agent. In practice, agent programming frameworks are dedicated to a specific KR, limiting the use of other possible ones. In this paper we address the issue of creating a flexible choice for agent programmers...conference paper 2015

Baarslag, T. (author), Hendrikx, M.J.C. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)A negotiation between agents is typically an incomplete information game, where the agents initially do not know their opponent’s preferences or strategy. This poses a challenge, as efficient and effective negotiation requires the bidding agent to take the other’s wishes and future behavior into account when deciding on a proposal. Therefore, in...journal article 2015
