Designing Robots in the Wild: In situ Prototype Evaluation for a Break Management Robot [PDF]
As robots move into everyday environments, we need to understand both the social and the technical constraints and affordances for human-robot interaction. We use in situ evaluation of partially functioning prototypes to inform the design of robotic technologies that fit their intended contexts of use and illustrate this method through a case study of ...

Human-to-Robot Imitation in the Wild
We approach the problem of learning by watching humans in the wild. While traditional approaches in Imitation and Reinforcement Learning are promising for learning in the real world, they are either sample inefficient or are constrained to lab settings. Meanwhile, there has been a lot of success in processing passive, unstructured human data.

Social Robots in the Wild and the Novelty Effect
We designed a wine recommendation robot and deployed it in a small supermarket. In a study aimed to evaluate our design we found that people with no intent to buy wine were interacting with the robot rather than the intended audience of wine-buying customers. Behavioural data, moreover, suggests a very different evaluation of the robot than the surveys

Codifying Wildness: Wild Behaviour for Improving Human-Robot Interaction
AbstractAnimals, even when domesticated, maintain a series of innate characteristics that humans perceive as wild. Human responses to animal behavior vary with many factors such as historical time and culture. Even after their domestication, humans perceive animals’ distinctive behavior patterns that are considered as being wild, even in pets.

Self-Disclosure to a Robot "In-the-Wild": Category, Human Personality and Robot Identity
Self-disclosures can be valuable and sensitive parts of the human-robot interaction. This paper investigates how far human's tendency to self-disclose depends on the topic of interaction, individual's personality and perceived robot identity (i.e., human-, robot-or animal-like).

Into the Wild: When Robots Are Not Welcome
Social robots are increasingly being deployed in public spaces, where they face not only technological difficulties and unexpected user utterances, but also objections from stakeholders who may not be comfortable with introducing a robot into those spaces.
