How could we make a social robot? A virtual bargaining approach.

Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences
What is required to allow an artificial agent to engage in rich, human-like interactions with people? I argue that this will require capturing the process by which humans continually create and renegotiate 'bargains' with each other. These hidden neg...

Design Path for a Social Robot for Emotional Communication for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in social interaction and expressing and understanding emotions. Based on this, robots for children with ASD have been proposed. However, few studies have been conducted about how to design a...

Behavioural Models of Risk-Taking in Human-Robot Tactile Interactions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Touch can have a strong effect on interactions between people, and as such, it is expected to be important to the interactions people have with robots. In an earlier work, we showed that the intensity of tactile interaction with a robot can change ho...

Ethical considerations in child-robot interactions.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews
Social robots hold promise in augmenting education, rehabilitative care, and leisure activities for children. Despite findings suggesting various benefits of social robot use in schools, clinics, and homes, stakeholders have voiced concerns about the...

Pain management nursing : official journal of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses

Revisiting the video deficit in technology-saturated environments: Successful imitation from people, screens, and social robots.

Journal of experimental child psychology
The "video deficit" is a well-documented effect whereby children learn less well about information delivered via a screen than the same information delivered in person. Research suggests that increasing social contingency may ameliorate this video de...

Social robots and the intentional stance.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
Why is it that people simultaneously treat social robots as mere designed artefacts, yet show willingness to interact with them as if they were real agents? Here, we argue that Dennett's distinction between the intentional stance and the design stanc...

The now and future of social robots as depictions.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
The authors at times propose that robots mere depictions of social agents (a philosophical claim) and at other times that social robots as depictions (an empirical psychological claim). We evaluate each claim's accuracy both now and in the future a...

Of children and social robots.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
In the target article, Clark and Fischer argue that little is known about children's perceptions of social robots. By reviewing the existing literature we demonstrate that infants and young children interact with robots in the same ways they do with ...

People treat social robots as real social agents.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
When people interact with social robots, they treat them as real social agents. How people depict robots is fun to consider, but when people are confronted with embodied entities that move and talk - whether humans or robots - they interact with them...
