(2014): Emotion attribution to a non-humanoid robot in different social situations. In: PLoS one 9 (12)
Abstract: In the last few years there was an increasing interest in building companion robots that interact in a socially acceptable way with humans. In order to interact in a meaningful way a robot has to convey intentionality and emotions of some sort in order to increase believability. We suggest that human-robot interaction should be considered as a specific form of inter-specific interaction and that human–animal interaction can provide a useful biological model for designing social robots. Dogs can provide a promising biological model since during the domestication process dogs were able to adapt to the human environment and to participate in complex social interactions. In this observational study we propose to design emotionally expressive behaviour of robots using the behaviour of dogs as inspiration and to test these dog-inspired robots with humans in inter-specific context. In two experiments (wizard-of-oz scenarios) we examined humans’ ability to recognize two basic and a secondary emotion expressed by a robot. In Experiment 1 we provided our companion robot with two kinds of emotional behaviour (’happiness’ and ’fear’), and studied whether people attribute the appropriate emotion to the robot, and interact with it accordingly. In Experiment 2 we investigated whether participants tend to attribute guilty behaviour to a robot in a relevant context by examining whether relying on the robot’s greeting behaviour human participants can detect if the robot transgressed a predetermined rule. Results of Experiment 1 showed that people readily attribute emotions to a social robot and interact with it in accordance with the expressed emotional behaviour. Results of Experiment 2 showed that people are able to recognize if the robot transgressed on the basis of its greeting behaviour. In summary, our findings showed that dog-inspired behaviour is a suitable medium for making people attribute emotional states to a non-humanoid robot.

(2014): The role of emotions in inter-action selection. In: Interaction Studies: Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systems 15 (2), S. 216-223. DOI: 10.1075/is.15.2.10nov
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1075/is.15.2.10nov Abstract: Comments on the original article by Faragó et al. (see record [rid]2014-41524-001[/rid]) regarding the design of social robots. They draw attention to an important issue for researchers of human-robot interaction (HRI): can we conceive a scheme for making social robot behaviour both comprehensible and appropriate in human social settings? We agree with the authors concerning the potential utility of drawing on the example of domestic animals—particularly dogs, the species with which we have the longest history of co-evolution as social interactors. Here we seek to extend from the authors emphasis on the detail of species-specific interaction to a general blueprint for robot action selection. We particularly emphasise the integral role of emotions in facilitating social inter-action selection as social signals of internal agent states that are relevant to joint action.
