Expressive motion has been found to be a highly effective tool in communicating intent and
motivation in single robot human-robot interaction, but work in exploring how groups of …

Multi-robot systems are moving into human spaces, such as working with people in factories
(Bacula et al., in: Companion of the 2020 ACM/IEEE international conference on human …

Much has been said about the power of in-groups in social robotics. For example, people
may favor a robot on their own team over a human on another team during game-play. Will …

Research has found homogeneous robot groups can be intimidating, but few have studied
the impact of intentionally incoherent robot group motion. This work explores incoherent …

Spatial formations can give many social cues, such as illustrating a group of people are
having a conversation (social affiliation), or that they are trying to move swiftly through a …

The presented online study (N= 405) explores the impact of translational (towards, away,
sideways) and rotational (spin and circle) motion patterns on the perceived communications …

Robots that have different forms and capabilities are used in a wide variety of situations;
however, one common point to all robots interacting with humans is their ability to …

Mobile robots struggle to integrate seamlessly in crowded environments such as pedestrian
scenes, often disrupting human activity. One obstacle preventing their smooth integration is …

Dancers are experts in expressive communication, communicating story, emotions, and
attitudes via their motions. While there are many previous works illustrating the power of …

In this paper, we explored how a mobile robot should join an existing multimodal interaction
between a person and a stationary robot. We developed three different strategies (Circular …
