In Companion of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI '20 Companion) (349-351). https://doi.org/10.1145/3371382.3378268

Telecommunication software is often used to tackle social isolation in those with restricted mobility, but lacks high-level interactions found in face-to-face conversation. This study investigated the use of an immersive control system for a robotic...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cahya, D. E., Ramakrishnan, R., & Giuliani, M. (2019). Static and temporal differences in social signals between error-free and erroneous situations in human-robot collaboration. In M. A. Salichs, S. S. Ge, E. I. Barakova, J. Cabibihan, A. R. Wagner, Ά. Castro-González, & H. He (Eds.), Social Robotics. , (189-199). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-35888-4_18

The capability of differentiating error situations from error-free situations in human-robot collaboration is a mandatory skill for collaborative robots. One of the variables that robots can analyse to differentiate both situations are the social sig...

The development of new collaborative robotic platforms opens the new possibility of human-robot collaborative scenarios provided that they are controlled by excellent control programs. Interactive collaborative robots need to be autonomous and posses... Read More about Towards a cognitive architecture incorporating human feedback for interactive collaborative robots.

Head and shoulders: Automatic error detection in human-robot interaction (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Trung, P., Giuliani, M., Miksch, M., Stollnberger, G., Stadler, S., Mirnig, N., & Tscheligi, M. (2017, November). Head and shoulders: Automatic error detection in human-robot interaction. Paper presented at 19th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction, Glasgow, Scotland

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...

© 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.

Using persona, scenario, and use case to develop a human-robot augmented reality collaborative workspace. Paper presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction 2017, Vienna, Austria

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...
