HRI '23Social Robot Interaction +1

The Effect of Simple Emotional Gesturing in a Socially Assistive Robot on Child's Engagement at a Group Vaccination Day

Children encounter high levels of stress and anxiety before receiving medical treatment, such as a vaccination. This paper explores the effect of emotional gesturing in socially assistive robots (SARs) on children’s observed and self-reported engagement, as well as self-reported anxiety, fear, and trust during a group…

Limitations of Audiovisual Speech on Robots for Second Language Pronunciation Learning

The perception of audiovisual speech plays an important role in infants' first language acquisition and continues to be important for language understanding beyond infancy. Beyond that, the perception of speech and congruent lip motion supports language understanding for adults, and it has been suggested that second l…

IUI '21Full-Body Interaction & Embodied Input +2

A large, crowdsourced evaluation of gesture generation systems on common data: The GENEA Challenge 2020

Co-speech gestures, gestures that accompany speech, play an important role in human communication. Automatic co-speech gesture generation is thus a key enabling technology for embodied conversational agents (ECAs), since humans expect ECAs to be capable of multi-modal communication. Research into gesture generation is…
