On the impact of different types of errors on trust in human-robot interaction: Are laboratory-based HRI experiments trustworthy? (2019)
Journal Article
Flook, R., Shrinah, A., Wijnen, L., Eder, K., Melhuish, C., & Lemaignan, S. (2019). On the impact of different types of errors on trust in human-robot interaction: Are laboratory-based HRI experiments trustworthy?. Interaction Studies, 20(3), 455-486. https://doi.org/10.1075/is.18067.flo

© John Benjamins Publishing Company Trust is a key dimension of human-robot interaction (HRI), and has often been studied in the HRI community. A common challenge arises from the difficulty of assessing trust levels in ecologically invalid environmen...

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...

Teaching robots social autonomy from in situ human guidance (2019)
Journal Article
Senft, E., Lemaignan, S., Baxter, P. E., Bartlett, M., & Belpaeme, T. (2019). Teaching robots social autonomy from in situ human guidance. Science Robotics, 4(35), Article eaat1186. https://doi.org/10.1126/scirobotics.aat1186

Striking the right balance between robot autonomy and human control is a core challenge in social robotics, in both technical and ethical terms. On the one hand, extended robot autonomy offers the potential for increased human productivity and for th... Read More about Teaching robots social autonomy from in situ human guidance.

Generating spatial referring expressions in a social robot: Dynamic vs. non-ambiguous (2019)
Journal Article
Wallbridge, C. D., Lemaignan, S., Senft, E., & Belpaeme, T. (2019). Generating spatial referring expressions in a social robot: Dynamic vs. non-ambiguous. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 6, Article 67. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2019.00067

Generating spatial referring expressions is key to allowing robots to communicate with people in an environment. The focus of most algorithms for generation is to create a non-ambiguous description, and how best to deal with the combination explosion...

What can you see? Identifying cues on internal states from the movements of natural social interactions (2019)
Journal Article
Bartlett, M. E., Edmunds, C. E. R., Belpaeme, T., Thill, S., & Lemaignan, S. (2019). What can you see? Identifying cues on internal states from the movements of natural social interactions. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 6, Article 49. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2019.00049

© 2019 Bartlett, Edmunds, Belpaeme, Thill and Lemaignan. In recent years, the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has seen an increasing demand for technologies that can recognize and adapt to human behaviors and internal states (e.g., emotions an...

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...
