2023 32nd IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2023
This paper communicates findings from an ethnographic inspired field study of human-robot teamwork in a hospital, a highly significant topic, as the use of robots has expanded significantly in recent years, and they are being increasingly deployed in naturalistic environments, including hospitals, expected to take part in socio-technical practices and ...

Into the Wild: When Robots Are Not Welcome
arXiv.orgSocial 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 ...

Data-Driven Robotic Grasping in the Wild
2021Robotic grasping has seen tremendous advancements in recent years. Yet, the current paradigm of manipulation research is typically some form of table-top manipulationin constrained setups or in simulation. Building general purpose personal robots that can autonomously grasp unknown objects in unstructured environments like homes isan open problem.

Facial Expression Recognition in the Wild with Application in Robotics
2021 6th International Conference on Computer Science and Engineering (UBMK), 2021One of the major problems with robot companions is their lack of credibility. Since emotions play a key role in human behaviour their implementation in virtual agents is a conditio sine-qua-non for realistic models. That is, correct classification of facial expressions in the wild is a necessary preprocessing step for implementing artificial empathy ...

Robots in the wild: observing human-robot social interaction outside the lab
9th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control, 2006., 2006This paper discusses the use of observational studies of human-robot social interaction in open human-inhabited environments as a method for improving on the design and evaluating the interactive capabilities of social robots. First, we discuss issues that have surfaced in attempts to evaluate social interactions between humans and robots.

Robotic tele-presence with DARYL in the wild
Proceedings of the second international conference on Human-agent interaction, 2014This paper describes the results of a qualitative analysis of questionnaire data collected during a public exhibition of our robotic tele-presence system. In Summer 2013 the mildly humanized robot DARYL could be tried out by the general public during our University's science fair in the city center.

Designing a robot through prototyping in the wild
Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2011This paper describes the design and initial evaluation of Dewey, a do-it-yourself (DIY) robot prototype aimed to help users manage break-taking in the workplace. We describe the application domain, prototyping and technical implementation, and evaluation of Dewey in a real office environment to show how research using simple prototypes can provide ...

Humanoid robot avatars: An ‘in the wild’ usability study
2016 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2016In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing and mobile remote presence devices lack, particularly in multi-party conversations.

Going into the wild in child–robot interaction studies: issues in social robotic development
Intelligent Service Robotics, 2008As robots move into more human centric environments we require methods to develop robots that can naturally interact with humans. Doing so requires testing in the real-world and addressing multidisciplinary challenges. Our research is focused on child–robot interaction which includes very young children, for example toddlers, and children diagnosed ...

Social Robots in the Wild and the Novelty Effect
2023We 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.
