• Authors: Hejing Ling, Guoliang Liu, Guohui Tian
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Human safety is the most important demand for human robot interaction and collaboration (HRIC), which not only refers to physical safety, but also includes psychological safety. Although many robots with different configurations have entered our living and working environments, the human safety problem is still an ongoing research problem in human-robot coexistence 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. Finally, we demonstrate our idea using a 7 DOF TIAGo robot in a dynamic HRIC environment, which shows that the robot becomes sense motive, and responds to human action and emotion changes quickly and efficiently.

  We propose an approach to enhancing physical HRI with a focus on dynamic robot-assisted hand-object interaction. We employ a transformer-based algorithm to perform real-time 3D modeling of human hands from single RGB images. The robot's action implementation is dynamically fine-tuned using the continuously updated 3D hand models.

  We propose an algorithm that detects risky situations for humans, selecting a robot action that removes the danger in real time.

The algorithm has been implemented as part of an existing cognitive architecture and tested in simulation scenarios.

  We show how a robot can infer online, from vision alone, whether or not the human partner is careful when moving an object. We demonstrated that a humanoid robot could perform this inference with high accuracy (up to 81.3%) even with a low-resolution camera. The prompt recognition of movement carefulness from observing the partner's action will allow robots to adapt their actions on the object to show the same degree of care as their human partners.

  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.

• Human Perception of Intrinsically Motivated Autonomy in Human-Robot Interaction [2.485182034310304]
  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.
