Abstract: As artificial intelligence continues to advance and becomes more integrated into sensitive areas like healthcare, education, and everyday life, it's crucial for these systems to be both resilient and robust. This paper shows how resilience is a fundamental characteristic of social robots, which, through it, ensure trust in the robot itself-an essential element especially when operating in contexts with elderly people, who often have low trust in these systems. Resilience is therefore the ability to operate under adverse or stressful conditions, even when degraded or weakened, while maintaining essential operational capabilities.

Data-driven emotional body language generation for social robotics [58.88028813371423]
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.

Revisiting the Adversarial Robustness-Accuracy Tradeoff in Robot Learning [121.9708998627352]
Recent work has shown that, in practical robot learning applications, the effects of adversarial training do not pose a fair trade-off. This work revisits the robustness-accuracy trade-off in robot learning by analyzing if recent advances in robust training methods and theory can make adversarial training suitable for real-world robot applications.

A General, Evolution-Inspired Reward Function for Social Robotics [0.0]
We present the Social Reward Function as a mechanism to provide a real-time, dense reward function necessary for the deployment of reinforcement learning agents in social robotics. The Social Reward Function is designed to closely mimic those genetically endowed social perception capabilities of humans in an effort to provide a simple, stable and culture-agnostic reward function.

Cognitive architecture aided by working-memory for self-supervised multi-modal humans recognition [54.749127627191655]
The ability to recognize human partners is an important social skill to build personalized and long-term human-robot interactions. Deep learning networks have achieved state-of-the-art results and demonstrated to be suitable tools to address such a task. One solution is to make robots learn from their first-hand sensory data with self-supervision.
