• Abstract: To facilitate natural and intuitive interactions with diverse user groups in real-world settings, social robots must be capable of addressing the varying requirements and expectations of these groups while adapting their behavior based on user feedback. While previous research often focuses on specific demographics, we present a novel framework for adaptive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) that tailors interactions to different user groups and enables individual users to modulate interactions through both minor and major interruptions. Our primary contributions include the development of an adaptive, ROS-based HRI framework with an open-source code base. This framework supports natural interactions through advanced speech recognition and voice activity detection, and leverages a large language model (LLM) as a dialogue bridge. We validate the efficiency of our framework through module tests and system trials, demonstrating its high accuracy in age recognition and its robustness to repeated user inputs and plan changes.

  Engagement estimation plays a crucial role in understanding human social behaviors. We propose a Dialogue-Aware Transformer framework that relies solely on audio-visual input and is language-independent. Our approach achieves a CCC score of 0.76 on the NoXi Base test set and an average CCC of 0.64 across the NoXi Base, NoXi-Add, and MPIIGI test sets.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated their ability to replicate human behaviors across a wide range of scenarios.

We introduce the Multi-Agent Interaction Evaluation Framework (AntEval), encompassing a novel interaction framework and evaluation methods.

  This paper presents a data-driven approach to detect the functional interaction structure for software development teams. Our approach considers differences in the activity levels of team members and uses a block-constrained configuration model. We show how our approach enables teams to compare their functional interaction structure against synthetically created benchmark scenarios.

  We present a novel framework for identifying a parent-child dyad's joint engagement. Using a dataset of parent-child dyads reading storybooks together with a social robot at home, we first train RGB frame- and skeleton-based joint engagement recognition models. Second, we demonstrate experimental results on the use of trained models in the robot-parent-child interaction context.

  We develop a new framework, Human-AI Language-based Interaction Evaluation (HALIE), that defines the components of interactive systems. We design five tasks to cover different forms of interaction: social dialogue, question answering, crossword puzzles, summarization, and metaphor generation. We find that better non-interactive performance does not always translate to better human-LM interaction.
