Social Robots And Children

2022
Although children are increasingly likely to encounter social and communicative robots in their lives, scholars of children, adolescents, and the media have only recently picked up on the subject. From the perspective of research on children, adolescents, and the media, this chapter therefore first presents a rationale for studying social robots and ...

Understanding Social Robots

2009 Second International Conferences on Advances in Computer-Human Interactions, 2009
Research on social robots is mainly comprised of research into algorithmic problems in order to expand a robot´s capabilities to improve communication with human beings. Also, a large body of research concentrates on the appearance, i.e. aesthetic form of social robots. However, only little reference to their definition is made.

Anthropomorphism and the social robot

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2003
Summary: This paper discusses the issues pertinent to the development of a meaningful social interaction between robots and people through employing degrees of anthropomorphism in a robot's physical design and behaviour. As robots enter our social space, we will inherently project/impose our interpretation on their actions similar to the techniques we ...

Social robotic telepresence

Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2011
Robotic telepresence, also known as telerobotics is a subfield of telepresence whose aim is to increase presence via embodiment in a robotic platform. In particular, robotic telepresence can be an effective tool to enhance social interaction suited to certain groups of users such as the elderly.

Robotic Dance in Social Robotics—A Taxonomy

IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems, 2015
Robotic dance is an important topic in the field of social robotics. Its research has a vital significance to both humans and robotics. This paper presents a review of the state of the art in robotic dance. Robotic dance is classified into four categories: cooperative human–robot dance, imitation of human dance motions, synchronization for music, and ...

Social Robots and Social Interaction

2014
I study the implications of the use of social robotics to our concepts of social interaction in everyday usage and in philosophical theories of social action. If people sometimes conceive their activities with robots as cases of social interaction even though they do not attribute to robots all the capacities that philosophers take to be necessary ...

Socializing robots: constructing robotic sociality in the design and use of the assistive robot PARO

AI & SOCIETY, 2015
The goal of introducing robots into everyday use has led to their reconceptualization as social technologies, for which interacting with people is a fundamental and necessary function. Robot sociality in this context is generally defined as a set of individual properties of the artifact, such as a human-like appearance or the ability to read social ...

The Rights of (Social) Robots

2020
A number of recent publications have examined and advanced the concept of robot rights. These investigations have been largely theoretical and speculative. This paper seeks to move the debate about the moral and legal standing of social robots out of the realm of theory. It does so by investigating what rights a social robot would need to have in order

The influence of robot design on acceptance of social robots

2017 14th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2017
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is a rapidly growing area of research and the important factors of the relationship between robots and the people who use them are still being determined. In the present research, we tried to ascertain if robot appearance influenced people's preference for, interest in, and communication with particular robots. To this aim,
