Understanding Roboticists' Power through Matrix Guided Power Analysis

Roboticists wield substantial power through the ways we choose to design and deploy robots. But understanding the nature of this power requires us to consider the different types of power wielded through different types of robot design choices, and the social and historical factors that shape the power landscape into…

More Than Binary: Transgender and Nonbinary Perspectives on Human Robot Interaction

Previous research has shown that gendered robot designs prompt users to carry biases from human-human interaction into human-robot interaction. Yet avoiding gendered designs in human-robot interaction may be infeasible, as humans readily gender robots based on factors like name, voice, and pronouns. One solution to th…

(Gestures Vaguely): The Effects of Robots' Use of Abstract Pointing Gestures in Large-Scale Environments

As robots are deployed into large-scale human environments, they will need to engage in task-oriented dialogues about objects and locations beyond those that can currently be seen. In these contexts, speakers use a wide range of referring gestures beyond those used in the small-scale interaction contexts that HRI rese…

Robots for Social Justice (R4SJ): Toward a More Equitable Practice of Human-Robot Interaction

In this work, we present \textit{Robots for Social Justice (R4SJ)}: a framework for an equitable engineering practice of Human-Robot Interaction, grounded in the Engineering for Social Justice (E4SJ) framework for Engineering Education. To understand the new insights this framework could provide to the field of HRI, w…

The Power of Advice: Differential Blame for Human and Robot Advisors and Deciders in a Moral Advising Context

Due to their unique persuasive power, language-capable robots must be able to both act in line with human moral norms and clearly and appropriately communicate those norms. These requirements are complicated by the possibility that people may blame human and robot agents differently for violations of those norms. Thes…

What a Thing to Say! Which Linguistic Politeness Strategies Should Robots Use in Noncompliance Interactions?

For social robots to succeed human environments, they must comprehend and follow human norms. In particular, robots must respond in effective, yet appropriate ways when humans violate these norms, e.g., when humans give robots unethical commands. Previous work has shown that humans expect robots to be proportional in…

Beyond the Session: Centering Teleoperators in Socially Assistive Robot-Child Interactions Reveals the Bigger Picture

Socially assistive robots play an effective role in children’s therapy and education. Robots engage children and provide interaction that is free of the potential judgment of human peers and adults. Research in socially assistive robots for children generally focuses on therapeutic and educational outcomes for those c…

I Need Your Help... or Do I? Maintaining Situation Awareness through Performative Autonomy

Interactive intelligent systems are increasingly being deployed in safety critical contexts like Space Exploration. For humans to safely and successfully complete collaborative tasks with robots in these contexts, they must maintain Situational Awareness of their task context without being cognitively overloaded -- re…

Crossing Reality: Comparing Physical and Virtual Robot Deixis

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies present an exciting new medium for human-robot interactions, enabling new opportunities for both implicit and explicit human-robot communication. For example, these technologies enable physically-limited robots to execute non-verbal interaction patterns such as deictic gestures desp…

Fresh Start: Encouraging Politeness in Wakeword-Driven Human-Robot Interaction

Deployed social robots are increasingly relying on wakeword-based interaction, where interactions are human-initiated by a wakeword like “Hey Jibo”. While wakewords help to increase speech recognition accuracy and ensure privacy, there is concern that wakeword-driven interaction could encourage impolite behavior becau…

Exploring the Role of Gender in Perceptions of Robotic Noncompliance

A key capability of morally competent robots is to reject or question potentially immoral human commands. However, robot rejections of inappropriate commands must be phrased with great care and tact. Previous research has shown that failure to calibrate the “face threat" in a robot’s command rejection to the severity…
