Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) is a technique that is popular for prototyping and generating expressive
movement behaviours in the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). This technique often …

Several Wizard-of-Oz techniques have been developed to make robots appear autonomous
and more social in human-robot interaction. Many of the existing solutions use control …

Within the HRI community, Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) methods have been extensively used to
explore robot interactions. However, their wide usage has also been criticized as not giving …

The integration of robots as storytellers, game masters or embodied characters into games is
a novel technique for game design yet restricted to human-robot interaction (HRI) research …

Supporting a wide variety of interaction styles across a diverse set of people is a significant
challenge in human-robot interaction (HRI). In this work, we explore a data-driven approach …

This paper considers the question of whether robots can be effectively programmed for
autonomous social interaction through learning from demonstrations recorded via Wizardof …

Learning from demonstration (LfD) is a widely-used technique for programming robot
behavior. Despite its flexibility and applicability to a wide range of tasks, LfD is most typically …

In this paper we propose a methodology for the creation of social interaction strategies for
human-robot interaction based on restricted-perception Wizard-of-Oz studies (WoZ). This …

The end-user programming of social robot behavior is usually limited by a predefined set of
movements. We are proposing a puppeteering robotic interface that provides a more …

For some time now, robotics research has shifted its attention from robots that function within
their own predefined space to robots that coexist with humans in the human's natural …
