Kennedy, J., Lemaignan, S., Montassier, C., Lavalade, P., Irfan, B., Papadopoulos, F., …Belpaeme, T. (2017). Child Speech Recognition in Human-Robot Interaction: Evaluations and Recommendations. In Proceedings of the 2017 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference. , (82-90). https://doi.org/10.1145/2909824.3020229

© 2017 ACM. An increasing number of human-robot interaction (HRI) studies are now taking place in applied settings with children. These interactions often hinge on verbal interaction to effectively achieve their goals. Great advances have been made i...

From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Lemaignan, S., Garcia, F., Jacq, A., & Dillenbourg, P. (2016). From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction. In Proceedings of the 2016 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference (157-164). https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2016.7451747

© 2016 IEEE. Measuring "how much the human is in the interaction" - the level of engagement - is instrumental in building effective interactive robots. Engagement, however, is a complex, multi-faceted cognitive mechanism that is only indirectly obser...

From Characterising Three Years of HRI to Methodology and Reporting Recommendations (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Kennedy, J., Baxter, P., Senft, E., Lemaignan, S., & Belpaeme, T. (2016). From Characterising Three Years of HRI to Methodology and Reporting Recommendations. In Proceedings of the 2016 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference (alt.HRI) (391-398). https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2016.7451777

© 2016 IEEE. Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research requires the integration and cooperation of multiple disciplines, technical and social, in order to make progress. In many cases using different motivations, each of these disciplines bring with the... Read More about From Characterising Three Years of HRI to Methodology and Reporting Recommendations.

When Children Teach a Robot to Write: An Autonomous Teachable Humanoid Which Uses Simulated Handwriting (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Hood, D., Lemaignan, S., & Dillenbourg, P. (2015). When Children Teach a Robot to Write: An Autonomous Teachable Humanoid Which Uses Simulated Handwriting. In Proceedings of the 2015 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference. , (83-90). https://doi.org/10.1145/2696454.2696479

© 2015 ACM. This article presents a novel robotic partner which children can teach handwriting. The system relies on the learning by teaching paradigm to build an interaction, so as to stimulate meta-cognition, empathy and increased self-esteem in th...
