The evaluation of different roles for domestic social robots [PDF]
, 2015 Robotics researchers foresee that robots will become ubiquitous in our natural environments, such as our homes. For a successful diffusion of social robots, it is important to study the user acceptance of such robots.

Users' preferences of robots for domestic use
Proceedings of the 2014 ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2014This study identifies the design preferences of robots for domestic use. In an online survey, participants rated 16 robot pictures on several evaluation criteria. Results show that overall anthropomorphic robots are more positively rated than either zoomorphic, caricatured or functional robots. Moreover, negative feelings towards robot (e.g.

Robots in a domestic setting: a psychological approach
Universal Access in the Information Society, 2005The study presented in this paper aims at improving the current understanding of human-robot interaction by adopting a psychological approach. The acceptability of robotic devices in home settings, especially by elderly people, does not depend only on the practical benefits they can provide, but on complex relationships between the cognitive, affective

Robotization and the domestic sphere
New Media & Society, 2017The aim of this article is to advance theoretically the debate on the interrelation between robotization and the domestic sphere. I adopt a critical approach to the political economy about the diffusion of machines in the domestic sphere (unexpected and not predicted by the classical theories of capital) and the automation of everyday life, including ...

Understanding Robot Motion in domestic settings
2019 Joint IEEE 9th International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EpiRob), 2019This paper is a conceptual, empirical, and philosophical exploration of the ways we experience the motion of things. The paper aims to understand better how humans understand the motion of semi-autonomous things. The paper focuses on two perspectives of understanding (robot) motion: 1) through familiarity and a phenomenological approach; and 2) through

ASIBOT assistive robot in a domestic environment
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2009New mobile robotic devices are conquering homes. From automatic shades to motorized vacuum cleaning units, advanced technologies are progressively being introduced into real domestic home environments. Technology is no longer being introduced to simply serve information or environmental control.

Head pose estimation for a domestic robot
Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2011Gaze direction is an important communicative cue. In order to use this cue for human-robot interaction, software needs to be developed that enables the estimation of head pose. We began by designing an application that is able to make a good estimate of the head pose, and, contrary to earlier head pose estimation approaches, that works for non-optimal ...
