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 …

This paper reviews the use of socially interactive robots to assist in the therapy of children
with autism. The extent to which the robots were successful in helping the children in their …

This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of the minimally expressive
robot KASPAR, which is particularly suitable for human–robot interaction studies. A low‐cost …

Robots have entered our domestic lives, but yet, little is known about their impact on the
home. This paper takes steps towards addressing this omission, by reporting results from an …

The experience of interacting with a robot has been shown to be very different in comparison

In this article we describe a human–robot interaction study, focusing on tactile aspects of
interaction, in which children with autism interacted with the child-like humanoid robot …

It has long been recognized that novelty effects exist in the interaction with technologies.
Despite this recognition, we still know little about the novelty effects associated with …

This article is a methodological paper that describes the therapeutic and educational
objectives that were identified during the design process of a robot aimed at robot assisted …

Telepresence robotic systems are proposed in different contexts and specifically in the area
of social robotics for assisting older adults at home. Similarly to other robotic systems, such …

The work presented in this paper was part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The
project has developed new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by …
