Conference Proceeding
Bremner, P., & Leonards, U. (2015). Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison. In Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction - HRI '15 (255-262). https://doi.org/10.1145/2696454.2696496

© 2015 ACM. Emphasis, by means of either pitch accents or beat gestures (rhythmic co-verbal gestures with no semantic meaning), has been shown to serve two main purposes in human communication: syntactic disambiguation and salience. To use beat gestu... Read More about Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison.

Efficiency of speech and iconic gesture integration for robotic and human communicators - A direct comparison (2015)
Journal Article
Bremner, P., & Leonards, U. (2015). Efficiency of speech and iconic gesture integration for robotic and human communicators - A direct comparison. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2015-June(June), 1999-2006. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICRA.2015.7139460

© 2015 IEEE. Co-verbal gestures are an important part of human communication, improving its efficiency for information conveyance. A key component of such improvement is the observer's ability to integrate information from the two communication chann...
