Simulation-based physics reasoning for consistent scene estimation in an HRI context (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Sallami, Y., Lemaignan, S., Clodic, A., & Alami, R. (2019). Simulation-based physics reasoning for consistent scene estimation in an HRI context. In Proceedings of the 2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. , (7834-7841). https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS40897.2019.8968106

© 2019 IEEE. Reasoning about spatial and geometric relations between objects in a tabletop human-robot interaction is a challenge due to the perception not being always consistent: objects placed on a table seem to be slightly in the air; they overla...

Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Winkle, K., Lemaignan, S., Caleb-Solly, P., Turton, A., Leonards, U., & Bremner, P. (2019). Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots. In Proceedings of the 2019 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference (277-285). https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2019.8673313

In this paper we present the results of an experimental study investigating the application of human persuasive strategies to a social robot. We demonstrate that robot displays of goodwill and similarity to the participant significantly increased rob... Read More about Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots.

Towards generating spatial referring expressions in a social robot: Dynamic vs non-ambiguous (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Wallbridge, C. D., Lemaignan, S., Senft, E., & Belpaeme, T. (2019). Towards generating spatial referring expressions in a social robot: Dynamic vs non-ambiguous. In Proceedings of the 2019 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference, (616-617). https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2019.8673285

© 2019 IEEE. We present in this paper our work towards a new dynamic method of generating spatial referring expressions. While people are generally ambiguous in their description of locations, previous methods of artificial generation mostly consider...
