Design principles for safety in human-robot interaction (2010)
Journal Article
Giuliani, M., Lenz, C., Müller, T., Rickert, M., & Knoll, A. (2010). Design principles for safety in human-robot interaction. International Journal of Social Robotics, 2(3), 253-274. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-010-0052-0

The interaction of humans and robots has the potential to set new grounds in industrial applications as well as in service robotics because it combines the strengths of humans, such as flexibility and adaptability, and the strengths of robots, such a...

Comparing objective and subjective measures of usability in a human-robot dialogue system (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., & Knoll, A. (2009, August). Comparing objective and subjective measures of usability in a human-robot dialogue system. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 47th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 4th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing of the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (ACL-IJCNLP 2009), Suntec, Singapore

We present a human-robot dialogue system that enables a robot to work together with a human user to build wooden construction toys. We then describe a study in which na¨ıve subjects interacted with this system under a range of conditions and then com...

Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., Müller, T., Knoll, A., Erlhagen, W., Bicho, E., …Louro, L. (2008, July). Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action. Paper presented at International Workshop on Combinations of Intelligent Methods and Applications, European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Patras, Greece

We demonstrate how combining the reasoning components from two existing systems designed for human-robot joint action produces an integrated system with greater capabilities than either of the individual systems. One of the systems supports primaril... Read More about Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action.

Evaluating description and reference strategies in a cooperative human-robot dialogue system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., Isard, A., Matheson, C., Oberlander, J., & Knoll, A. Evaluating description and reference strategies in a cooperative human-robot dialogue system. Paper presented at Twenty-first International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-09), 11-17 July 2009

We present a human-robot dialogue system that enables a robot to work together with a human user to build wooden construction toys. We then describe a study which assessed the responses of na¨ıve users to output that varied along two dimensions: the...
