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 ...

Sensitivity To Perceived Mutual Understanding In Human-Robot Collaborations

Pierre Dillenbourg, Alexis David Jacq, Ana Paiva

In order to collaborate with humans, robots are often provided with a Theory of Mind (ToM) architecture. Such architectures can be evaluated by humans perception of the robot's adaptations. However, humans sensitivities to these adaptations are not the one ...

It is often necessary to understand each other’s motivations in order to cooperate. Reaching such a mutual understanding requires two abilities: to build models of other’s motivations in order to understand them, and to build a model of “my” motivations pe ...

From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Alexis David Jacq, Fernando Garcia

Measuring ``how much the human is in the interaction'' -- the level of engagement -- is instrumental in building effective interactive robots. Engagement, however, is a complex, multi-faceted cognitive mechanism that is only indirectly observable. This art ...

Building Successful Long Child-Robot Interactions in a Learning Context

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Alexis David Jacq, Fernando Garcia, Ana Paiva

The CoWriter activity involves a child in a rich and complex interaction where he has to teach handwriting to a robot. The robot must convince the child it needs his help and it actually learns from his lessons. To keep the child engaged, the robot must le ...
