ProjecTA: A Semi-Humanoid Robotic Teaching Assistant with In-Situ Projection for Guided Tours

Robotic teaching assistants (TAs) often use body-mounted screens to deliver content. In nomadic, walk-and-talk learning, such as tours in makerspaces, these screens can distract learners from real-world objects, increasing extraneous cognitive load. HCI research lacks empirical comparisons of potential alternatives, s…

Mediating Urban Social Encounters – Co-Design of Robotic Street Furniture with Adolescents

With the ongoing shift into the digital, spontaneous social encounters in public spaces are becoming challenging for adolescents. This study explores how robotic street furniture could facilitate meaningful adolescent social interaction. In a focus group and a theater-based co-design workshop, fourteen adolescents env…

Exploring The Impact of Proactive Generative AI Agent Roles In Time-Sensitive Collaborative Problem-Solving Tasks

Collaborative problem-solving under time pressure is common but difficult, as teams must generate ideas quickly, coordinate actions, and track progress. Generative AI offers new opportunities to assist, but we know little about how proactive agents affect the dynamics of real-time, co-located teamwork. We studied two…

Haru in the Care Network: Stakeholder Perspectives on Privacy with Social Robots in Pediatrics

Social robots are beginning to be introduced as technologies to support the collective networks supporting pediatric treatment, but few studies on children's perceptions of privacy with robots in hospitals. Through a mixed-method approach, we introduced hypothetical vignettes and engaged in discussion with 15 youth wh…

Impact of Affirmative and Negating Robot Gestures on Perceived Personality, Role, and Contribution of a Human Group Member

Robots can play a role in mediating human group interactions. This study examines how robot gestures affect the perception of a human group member’s personality, role in the group, and contribution. In a vignette study (n=96), participants imagined being in a group discussion and watched a short video of another group…

“Teach Me About Objects!” – Experience-Driven Interaction for Teachable Robots

To adapt to specific places and people, robots must recognize objects, which are typically taught by users – a tedious process. Inspired by anecdotes of positive teaching experiences shared by educators, sports coaches, and animal trainers, we developed seven experience-driven ways to make teaching a robot more engagi…

An Approach to Elicit Human-Understandable Robot Expressions to Support Human-Robot Interaction

Understanding the intentions of robots is essential for natural and seamless human-robot collaboration. Ensuring that robots have means for non-verbal communication is a basis for intuitive and implicit interaction. For this, we describe an approach to elicit and design human-understandable robot expressions. We outli…

Developing and Validating the Perceived System Curiosity Scale (PSC): Measuring Users' Perceived Curiosity of Systems

Like humans, today's systems, such as robots and voice assistants, can express curiosity to learn and engage with their surroundings. While curiosity is a well-established human trait that enhances social connections and drives learning, no existing scales assess the perceived curiosity of systems. Thus, we introduce…

Investigating LLM-Driven Curiosity in Human-Robot Interaction

Integrating curious behavior traits into robots is essential for them to learn and adapt to new tasks over their lifetime and to enhance human-robot interaction. However, the effects of robots expressing curiosity on user perception, user interaction, and user experience in collaborative tasks are unclear. In this wor…

Can we enhance prosocial behavior? Using post-ride feedback to improve micromobility interactions

Micromobility devices, such as e-scooters and delivery robots, hold promise for eco-friendly and cost-effective alternatives for future urban transportation. However, their lack of societal acceptance remains a challenge. Therefore, we must consider ways to promote prosocial behavior with micromobility interactions. W…
