The role of prior exposure in the likelihood of adopting the Intentional Stance toward a humanoid robot

Paladyn, 2023
One of the key questions in human–robot interaction research is whether humans perceive robots as intentional agents, or rather only as mindless machines. Research has shown that, in some contexts, people do perceive robots as intentional agents. However,

Mind the Eyes: Artificial Agents’ Eye Movements Modulate Attentional Engagement and Anthropomorphic Attribution

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
Artificial agents are on their way to interact with us daily. Thus, the design of embodied artificial agents that can easily cooperate with humans is crucial for their deployment in social scenarios.

Misleading Robot Signals in a Classification Task Induce Cognitive Load as Measured by Theta Synchronization Between Frontal and Temporo-parietal Brain Regions

Frontiers in Neuroergonomics, 2022
As technological advances progress, we find ourselves in situations where we need to collaborate with artificial agents (e.g., robots, autonomous machines and virtual agents).

A motion system for social and animated robots [PDF]

, 2014
This paper presents an innovative motion system that is used to control the motions and animations of a social robot. The social robot Probo is used to study Human-Robot Interactions (HRI), with a special focus on Robot Assisted Therapy (RAT).

Cultural differences in joint attention and engagement in mutual gaze with a robot face

Scientific Reports, 2023
Joint attention is a pivotal mechanism underlying human ability to interact with one another. The fundamental nature of joint attention in the context of social cognition has led researchers to develop tasks that address this mechanism and operationalize

PeppeRecycle: Improving Children’s Attitude Toward Recycling by Playing with a Social Robot

International Journal of Social Robotics, 2021
In this paper, we investigate the use of a social robot as an engaging interface of a serious game intended to make children more aware and well disposed towards waste recycle.

Cognitive load affects early processes involved in mentalizing robot behaviour

Scientific Reports, 2022
How individuals interpret robots’ actions is a timely question in the context of the general approach to increase robot’s presence in human social environment in the decades to come. Facing robots, people might have a tendency to explain their actions in

I Am Looking for Your Mind: Pupil Dilation Predicts Individual Differences in Sensitivity to Hints of Human-Likeness in Robot Behavior

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
The presence of artificial agents in our everyday lives is continuously increasing. Hence, the question of how human social cognition mechanisms are activated in interactions with artificial agents, such as humanoid robots, is frequently being asked. One

SocialGym: A Framework for Benchmarking Social Robot Navigation [PDF]

IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2021
Robots moving safely and in a socially compliant manner in dynamic human environments is an essential benchmark for long-term robot autonomy. However, it is not feasible to learn and benchmark social navigation behaviors entirely in the real world, as ...

Human-likeness and attribution of intentionality predict vicarious sense of agency over humanoid robot actions

Scientific Reports, 2022
Sense of Agency (SoA) is the feeling of being in control of one’s actions and their outcomes. In a social context, people can experience a “vicarious” SoA over another human’s actions; however, it is still controversial whether the same occurs in Human ...
