One of the major obstacles in the study of HRI (human-robot interaction) with social robots is
the lack of multiple identical robots that allow testing with large user groups. Often, the price …

This paper describes the current status of Ono, an open source social robot that can be
made using DIY tools and techniques. We believe that low-cost open source social robots …

Ono is a low cost DIY reproducible social robot designed to make large scale human-robot
interaction (HRI) studies more feasible financially, as well as to make social robotics …

Despite the relatively young age of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) as a field, there is a
large volume of research on advances in robot hardware, software and behavior. The goal …

Social robotics research requires the replicability of the experiments used to validate new
technical or scientific claims. However, humans behavior is difficult to replicate. We have …

The lack of shared community social robot platform has been one of the main reasons that
made scalable and replicable research activities in human-robot interaction (HRI) and …

Commercially available social robots are finally here. Previously accessible only to
companies or wealthy individuals, affordable, mass-produced autonomous robot …

This paper presents a low-cost social robot, called Philos, and human-robot interaction (HRI)
design. The system is accompanied with a user interface that allows customization of …

As the field of HRI evolves, it is important to understand how users interact with robots over
long periods. This paper reviews the current research on long-term interaction between …

One of the major obstacles in the study of human-robot interaction with social robots is the
lack of platforms to allow for tests with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots …
