A new perspective on robot ethics through investigating human–robot interactions with older adults (2021)
Journal Article
van Maris, A., Zook, N., Dogramadzi, S., Studley, M., Winfield, A., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2021). A new perspective on robot ethics through investigating human–robot interactions with older adults. Applied Sciences, 11(21), Article 10136. https://doi.org/10.3390/app112110136

This work explored the use of human–robot interaction research to investigate robot ethics. A longitudinal human–robot interaction study was conducted with self-reported healthy older adults to determine whether expression of artificial emotions by a...

Role-play as responsible robotics: The virtual witness testimony role-play interview for investigating hazardous human-robot interactions (2021)
Journal Article
Webb, H., Dumitru, M., van Maris, A., Winkle, K., Jirotka, M., & Winfield, A. (2021). Role-play as responsible robotics: The virtual witness testimony role-play interview for investigating hazardous human-robot interactions. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 8, Article 644336. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2021.644336

The development of responsible robotics requires paying attention to responsibility within the research process in addition to responsibility as the outcome of research. This paper describes the preparation and application of a novel method to explor...

Designing ethical social robots - A longitudinal field study with older adults (2020)
Journal Article
van Maris, A., Zook, N., Caleb-Solly, P., Studley, M., Winfield, A., & Dogramadzi, S. (2020). Designing ethical social robots - A longitudinal field study with older adults. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 7(1), https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2020.00001

Emotional deception and emotional attachment are regarded as ethical concerns in human robot interaction. Considering these concerns is essential, particularly as little is known about longitudinal effects of interactions with social robots. We ran a...

Social robots: The influence of human and robot characteristics on acceptance (2019)
Journal Article
Bishop, L., van Maris, A., Dogramadzi, S., & Zook, N. (2019). Social robots: The influence of human and robot characteristics on acceptance. Paladyn, 10(1), 346-358. https://doi.org/10.1515/pjbr-2019-0028

Research in social robotics is focused on the development of robots that can provide physical and cognitive support in a socially interactive way. Whilst some studies have previously investigated the importance of user characteristics (age, gender, e...
