Head and shoulders: Automatic error detection in human-robot interaction (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We describe a novel method for automatic detection of errors in human-robot interactions. Our approach is to detect errors based on the classification of head and shoulder movements of humans who are interacting with erroneous robots. We conducted a...

Automatically Classifying User Engagement for Dynamic Multi-party Human–Robot Interaction (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). A robot agent designed to engage in real-world human–robot joint action must be able to understand the social states of the human users it interacts with in order to behave appropriately. In particular, in a dynamic public spac... Read More about Automatically Classifying User Engagement for Dynamic Multi-party Human–Robot Interaction.

To err is robot: How humans assess and act toward an erroneous social robot (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Mirnig, Stollnberger, Miksch, Stadler, Giuliani and Tscheligi. We conducted a user study for which we purposefully programmed faulty behavior into a robot's routine. It was our aim to explore if participants rate the faulty robot different fro... Read More about To err is robot: How humans assess and act toward an erroneous social robot.

Using persona, scenario, and use case to develop a human-robot augmented reality collaborative workspace (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Up to date, methods from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) have not been widely adopted in the development of Human-Robot Interaction systems (HRI). In this paper, we describe a system prototype and a use case. The prototype is an augmented reality-ba...

Industrial human-robot interaction: Creating personas for augmented reality supported robot control and teaching (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In strong cooperation with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), we research the simplification of industrial robot online-programming. For that, we extend existing programming interfaces with augmented reality (AR) technology. We proactively us...

Elements of humor: How humans perceive verbal and non-verbal aspects of humorous robot behavior (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We performed a preliminary online survey to explore if verbal and non-verbal robot humor elements influence how humans
rate a robot's funniness. The video-based survey comprised four conditions, each showing a short clip of a NAO robot in a receptio... Read More about Elements of humor: How humans perceive verbal and non-verbal aspects of humorous robot behavior.

Tablet-based augmented reality in the factory: Influence of knowledge in computer programming on robot teaching tasks (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We investigate whether a user’s background in computer programming has an influence on user’s mental workload, when using a tablet-based augmented reality robot control interface that visualizes task-based information. For this purpose we conducted a... Read More about Tablet-based augmented reality in the factory: Influence of knowledge in computer programming on robot teaching tasks.
