Producing unexpected emotional expressions in others reduces one’s own agency

Scientific Reports
The sense of agency (SoA), or the subjective feeling of causing and controlling action outcomes, is fundamental to how we engage with the world. In the present study, we investigated how SoA is influenced when individuals unintentionally elicit emotional

Expressiveness in Human-Robot Interaction [PDF]

Interaction Design and Architecture(s), 2009
This article presents the design of Iromec, a modular robot companion tailored towards engaging in social exchanges with children with different disabilities with the aim to empower them to discover a wide rage of play styles from solitary to social and cooperative play. In particular this paper focuses on expressiveness as a fundamental feature of the

An Intuitive Formulation of the Human Arm Active Endpoint Stiffness

Sensors, 2020
In this work, we propose an intuitive and real-time model of the human arm active endpoint stiffness. In our model, the symmetric and positive-definite stiffness matrix is constructed through the eigendecomposition Kc=VDVT, where V is an orthonormal ...

Understanding action concepts from videos and brain activity through subjects’ consensus

Scientific Reports, 2022
In this paper, we investigate brain activity associated with complex visual tasks, showing that electroencephalography (EEG) data can help computer vision in reliably recognizing actions from video footage that is used to stimulate human observers ...

Android Pretending to Have Similar Traits of Imagination as Humans Evokes Stronger Perceived Capacity to Feel

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2019
The perception of robots as mindful enriches how humans relate to them. Given that congruence in perceived representations of the world enable humans to experience commonality in mental states (a shared reality), we propose that congruence between humans,

Predicting humor effectiveness of robots for human line cutting

Frontiers in Robotics and AI
It is extremely challenging for security guard robots to independently stop human line-cutting behavior. We propose addressing this issue by using humorous phrases. First, we created a dataset and built a humor effectiveness predictor. Using a simulator,

Sally and… Cozmo? Training theory of mind using a toy robot: a pilot study

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show impairments in Theory of Mind (ToM). This pilot study examined whether a commercially available toy robot (Cozmo) could support false-belief training within an Applied Behavior Analysis (

Human Merging Behavior in a Coupled Driving Simulator: How Do We Resolve Conflicts?

IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
Traffic interactions between merging and highway vehicles are a major topic of research, yielding many empirical studies and models of driver behaviour. Most of these studies on merging use naturalistic data. Although this provides insight into human gap
