Mutual Modelling in Robotics: Inspirations for the Next Steps

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan

Mutual modelling, the reciprocal ability to establish a mental model of the other, plays a fundamental role in human interactions. This complex cognitive skill is however difficult to fully apprehend as it encompasses multiple neuronal, psychological and s ...

You're Doing It Wrong! Studying Unexpected Behaviors in Child-Robot Interaction

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink

We present a study on the impact of unexpected robot behaviors on the perception of a robot by children and their subsequent engagement in a playful interaction based on a novel ”domino” task. We propose an original analysis methodology which blends behavi ...

When Children Teach a Robot to Write: An Autonomous Teachable Humanoid Which Uses Simulated Handwriting

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Deanna Hood

This article presents a novel robotic partner which children can teach handwriting. The system relies on the learning by teaching paradigm to build an interaction, so as to stimulate meta-cognition, empathy and increased self-esteem in the child user. We h ...

Human-Robot Interaction: Tackling the AI Challenges

Séverin Lemaignan

Human-Robot interaction is an area full of challenges for artificial intelligence: dynamic, partially unknown environments that are not originally designed for autonomous machines; a large variety of situations and objects to deal with, with possibly compl ...

Simulation and HRI -- Recent Perspectives with the MORSE Simulator

Séverin Lemaignan

Simulation in robotics is often a love-hate relationship: while simulators do save us a lot of time and effort compared to regular deployment of complex software architectures on complex hardware, simulators are also known to evade many (if not most) of th ...

A Few AI Challenges Raised while Developing an Architecture for Human-Robot Cooperative Task Achievement

Séverin Lemaignan

Over the last five years, and while developing an architecture for autonomous service robots in human environments, we have identified several key decisional issues that are to be tackled for a cognitive robot to share space and tasks with a human. We intr ...

Which Robot Behavior Can Motivate Children to Tidy up Their Toys? Design and Evaluation of "Ranger"

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud

We present the design approach and evaluation of our proto- type called “Ranger”. Ranger is a robotic toy box that aims to motivate young children to tidy up their room. We evalu- ated Ranger in 14 families with 31 children (2-10 years) using the Wizard-of ...

The Cognitive Correlates of Anthropomorphism

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink

While anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction is often discussed, it still appears to lack formal grounds. We recently proposed a first model of the dynamics of anthropomorphism that reflects the evolution of anthropomorphism in the human-robot interac ...
