The Impact of Virtual Reality and Viewpoints in Body Motion Based Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Manana Lortkipanidze

The operation of telerobotic systems can be a challenging task, requiring intuitive and efficient interfaces to enable inexperienced users to attain a high level of proficiency. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMI) represent a promising alternative to standard c ...

Direct Observation of the Statics and Dynamics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles in a Chiral Magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

In the three-dimensional (3D) Heisenberg model, topological point defects known as spin hedgehogs behave as emergent magnetic monopoles, i.e., quantized sources and sinks of gauge fields that couple strongly to conduction electrons, and cause unconventiona ...

Mutual Understanding in Educational Human-Robot Collaborations

Alexis David Jacq

Education is an art close to theater. A teacher is taking a role; he works his speeches and his gestures and he plays with the attention of his audience. But it is harder: more than entertaining, a teacher must shape the skills, the knowledge and the motiv ...

Robot Mirroring: Promoting Empathy with an Artificial Agent by Reflecting the User's Physiological Affective States

Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Self-tracking aims to increase awareness, decrease undesired behaviors, and ultimately lead towards a healthier lifestyle. However, inappropriate communication of self-tracking results might cause the opposite effect. Subtle self-tracking feedback is an al ...

Embodied Flight with a Drone

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Alexandre Thierry Cherpillod

Most human-robot interfaces, such as joysticks and keyboards, require training and constant cognitive effort and provide a limited degree of awareness of the robots’ state and its environment. Embodied interactions, that is the bidirectional link between t ...

Designing a socially integrated mobile robot for ethological research

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Jean-Louis Deneubourg

A robot introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals as conspecifics, and capable of interacting with them is an ecient tool for ethological research, particularly in studies of collective and social behaviour. In this paper, we present the imp ...

Anthropomorphic Language in Online Forums about Roomba, AIBO and the iPad

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan, Julia Fink

What encourages people to refer to a robot as if it was a living being? Is it because of the robot’s humanoid or animal-like shape, its movements or rather the kind of inter- action it enables? We aim to investigate robots’ characteristics that lead people ...

Anthropomorphism and Human Likeness in the Design of Robots and Human-Robot Interaction

Julia Fink

In this literature review we explain anthropomorphism and its role in the design of socially interactive robots and human-robot interaction. We illus-trate the social phenomenon of anthropomorphism which describes people’s tendency to attribute lifelike qu ...
