- Abstract summary: Explanations of robot decisions could affect user perceptions, justify their reliability, and increase trust.
The effects on human perceptions of robots that explain their decisions have not been studied thoroughly.
This study demonstrates the need for and potential of explainable human-robot interaction.

- Abstract: Recent developments in explainable artificial intelligence promise the
potential to transform human-robot interaction: Explanations of robot decisions
could affect user perceptions, justify their reliability, and increase trust.
However, the effects on human perceptions of robots that explain their
decisions have not been studied thoroughly. To analyze the effect of
explainable robots, we conduct a study in which two simulated robots play a
competitive board game. While one robot explains its moves, the other robot
only announces them. Providing explanations for its actions was not sufficient
to change the perceived competence, intelligence, likeability or safety ratings
of the robot. However, the results show that the robot that explains its moves
is perceived as more lively and human-like. This study demonstrates the need
for and potential of explainable human-robot interaction and the wider
assessment of its effects as a novel research direction.

Expectations [7.408858358967414]
Users develop mental models of robots to conceptualize what kind of interactions they can have with those robots.
conceptualizations are often formed before interactions with the robot and are based only on observing the robot's physical design.
We propose to use multimodal features of robot embodiments to predict what kinds of expectations users will have about a given robot's social and physical capabilities.

We focus on how to transfer on two different robotic platforms the same kinematics modulation that humans adopt when manipulating delicate objects.
We choose to modulate the velocity profile adopted by the robots' end-effector, inspired by what humans do when transporting objects with different characteristics.
We exploit a novel Generative Adversarial Network architecture, trained with human kinematics examples, to generalize over them and generate new and meaningful velocity profiles.
