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 …

Teleoperation is one of the oldest applications of human-robot interaction, yet decades later,
robots are still difficult to control in a variety of situations, especially when used by non …

As future human-robot teams are envisioned for a variety of application domains,
researchers have begun to investigate how humans and robots can communicate effectively …

The high cost of elder care combined with the shortage of caregivers lead us to consider
how service robots can be affordably leveraged to support the independence of elders and …

Abstract Purpose of Review Research has demonstrated the potential for robotic interfaces
to leverage human-like social interaction techniques, for example, autonomous social robots …

Many families often live geographically apart from each other due to work, education, or
marriage. Therefore, long-distance families frequently use computer-mediated …

Growing numbers of aging people result in great demand for social robots and virtual
humans to support health care and independent life for a long time at home. We provide an …

People with cognitive and/or motor impairments may benefit from using telepresence robots
to engage in social activities. To date, these robots, their user interfaces, and their navigation …

We investigate if an on-screen agent that reacts to a teleoperator's driving performance (eg,
by showing fear during poor driving) can influence teleoperation. Serving as a kind of virtual …

Recent research indicates that other factors in addition to appearance may contribute to the
“Uncanny Valley” effect, and it is possible that “uncanny actions” such as “robot telepathy” …
