, 2012 To interact with humans, robots will possess a software architecture much more complete than current robots and be equipped with new functionalities. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce some necessary elements to build companion robots that interact physically with humans and particularly for the exchange of object tasks.

Semiotics and Human-Robot Interaction [PDF]
, 2007 This paper describes a robot control architecture supported on a human-robot interaction model obtained directly from semiotics concepts. The architecture is composed by a set of objects defined after a well known model of semiotic signs. These objects form an algebraic system suitable to develop formal models of human-robot interactions.

Bodystorming Human-Robot Interactions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 32nd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, 2019 Designing and implementing human-robot interactions requires numerous skills, from having a rich understanding of social interactions and the capacity to articulate their subtle requirements, to the ability to then program a social robot with the many facets of such a complex interaction.

Sound in Human-Robot Interaction
Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, 2021 Robot sound spans a wide continuum, from subtle motor hums, through music, bleeps and bloops, to human-inspired vocalizations, and can be an important means of communication for robotic agents. This first workshop on sound in HRI aims to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives on sound, including design, conversation analysis, (computational ...

Do We Adopt the Intentional Stance Toward Humanoid Robots?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 In daily social interactions, we need to be able to navigate efficiently through our social environment. According to Dennett (1971), explaining and predicting others’ behavior with reference to mental states (adopting the intentional stance) allows ...
