Elements of humor: How humans perceive verbal and non-verbal aspects of humorous robot behavior (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mirnig, N., Stollnberger, G., Giuliani, M., & Tscheligi, M. (2017, March). Elements of humor: How humans perceive verbal and non-verbal aspects of humorous robot behavior. Paper presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction 2017, Vienna, Austria

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...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stadler, S., Mirnig, N., Giuliani, M., Tscheligi, M., Materna, Z., & Kapinus, M. (2017, March). Industrial human-robot interaction: Creating personas for augmented reality supported robot control and teaching. Paper presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction 2017, Vienna, Austria

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...

Control of mobile robot for remote medical examination: Design concepts and users' feedback from experimental studies (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wysokinski, A., Szczesniak-Stanczyk, D., Cholewinski, M., Drwiega, M., Arent, K., Jakubiak, J., …Wysokiński, A. (2016). Control of mobile robot for remote medical examination: Design concepts and users' feedback from experimental studies. . https://doi.org/10.1109/HSI.2016.7529612

© 2016 IEEE. In this article we discuss movement control of a ReMeDi medical mobile robot from the user perspective. The control is essentially limited to the level of operator actions where the operator is a member of a nursing staff. Two working mo...

Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations (2015)
Journal Article
Giuliani, M., Mirnig, N., Stollnberger, G., Stadler, S., Buchner, R., & Tscheligi, M. (2015). Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations. Frontiers in Psychology, 6(931), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00931

Human–robot interactions are often affected by error situations that are caused by either the robot or the human. Therefore, robots would profit from the ability to recognize when error situations occur. We investigated the verbal and non-verbal soci...
