• Title: Warmth and Competence to Predict Human Preference of Robot Behavior in Physical Human-Robot Interaction
• Authors: Marcus M. Scheunemann and Raymond H. Cuijpers and Christoph Salge
• Abstract summary: Social cognition posits that the dimensions Warmth and Competence are central and universal dimensions characterizing other humans. The Robotic Social Attribute Scale (RoSAS) proposes items for those dimensions suitable for HRI and validated them in a visual observation study. We found that Warmth and Competence, among all RoSAS and Godspeed dimensions, are the most important predictors for human preferences between different robot behaviors.

• Abstract: A solid methodology to understand human perception and preferences in human-robot interaction (HRI) is crucial in designing real-world HRI. Social cognition posits that the dimensions Warmth and Competence are central and universal dimensions characterizing other humans. The Robotic Social Attribute Scale (RoSAS) proposes items for those dimensions suitable for HRI and validated them in a visual observation study. In this paper we complement the validation by showing the usability of these dimensions in a behavior based, physical HRI study with a fully autonomous robot. We compare the findings with the popular Godspeed dimensions Animacy, Anthropomorphism, Likeability, Perceived Intelligence and Perceived Safety. We found that Warmth and Competence, among all RoSAS and Godspeed dimensions, are the most important predictors for human preferences between different robot behaviors. This predictive power holds even when there is no clear consensus preference or significant factor difference between conditions.

  We propose to model social motion forecasting in a shared human-robot representation space. ECHO operates in the aforementioned shared space to predict the future motions of the agents encountered in social scenarios. We evaluate our model in multi-person and human-robot motion forecasting tasks and obtain state-of-the-art performance by a large margin.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.

  Intuitive psychology is the ability to reason about hidden mental variables that drive observable actions. Despite recent interest in machine agents that reason about other agents, it is not clear if such agents learn or hold the core psychology principles that drive human reasoning. We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.

  This paper addresses the human safety issue by covering both the physical safety and psychological safety aspects. First, we introduce an adaptive robot velocity control and step size adjustment method according to human facial expressions, such that the robot can adjust its movement to keep safety when the human emotion is unusual. Second, we predict the human motion by detecting the suddenly changes of human head pose and gaze direction, such that the robot can infer whether the human attention is distracted, predict the next move of human and rebuild a repulsive force to avoid potential collision.

  A challenge in using robots in human-inhabited environments is to design behavior that is engaging, yet robust to the perturbations induced by human interaction. Our idea is to imbue the robot with intrinsic motivation (IM) so that it can handle new situations and appears as a genuine social other to humans. This article presents a "robotologist" study design that allows comparing autonomously generated behaviors with each other.
