Overcoming the uncanny valley: Displays of emotions reduce the uncanniness of humanlike robots (2016)
Book Chapter
Koschate, M., Potter, R., Bremner, P., & Levine, M. (2016). Overcoming the uncanny valley: Displays of emotions reduce the uncanniness of humanlike robots. In Proceedings of the eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (359-365). New Jersey: IEEE Press

In this paper we show empirically that highly humanlike robots make thoughts of death more accessible, leading to perceptions of uncanniness and eeriness of such robots. Rather than reducing the humanlikeness of robots, our research suggests the addi... Read More about Overcoming the uncanny valley: Displays of emotions reduce the uncanniness of humanlike robots.

Personality perception of robot avatar tele-operators (2016)
Book Chapter
Bremner, P., Celiktutan, O., & Gunes, H. (2016). Personality perception of robot avatar tele-operators. In C. Bartneck, Y. Nagai, A. Paiva, & S. Sabanovic (Eds.), Proceedings of the eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (141-148). New Jersey: IEEE Press

Nowadays a significant part of human-human interaction takes place over distance. Tele-operated robot avatars, in which an operator’s behaviours are portrayed by a robot proxy, have the potential to improve distance interaction, e.g., improving soc...
