Interactions, 2019 In order to broaden the design space for social robot design, we created two air-actuated donutshaped social robots: a small uniform silicone version and a more organic latex version. Our intent was to move away from typical human or animal formmimicry, focusing instead on elastic expression, ambiguous form, and playful behaviors.

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2010 For human-robot interaction to proceed in a smooth, natural manner, robots must adhere to human social norms. One such human convention is the use of expressive moods and emotions as an integral part of social interaction. Such expressions are used to convey messages such as ''I'm happy to see you'' or ''I want to be comforted,'' and people's long-term

National Stereotypes and Robots' Perception: The “Made in” Effect
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2019 In the near future, the human social environment worldwide might be populated by humanoid robots. The way we perceive these new social agents could depend on basic social psychological processes such as social categorization. Recent results indicate that

AI and Ethics, 2022 AbstractIn this paper, I argue that we need a more robust account of our ability and willingness to trust social robots. I motivate my argument by demonstrating that existing accounts of trust and of trusting social robots are inadequate. I identify that it is the feature of a façade or deception inherent in our engagement with social robots that both ...
