Domestic service robots have long been a staple of science fiction and commercial visions of the future. Until recently, we have only been able to speculate about what the experie...
This paper presents a robot search task (social tag) that uses social interaction, in the form of asking for help, as an integral component of task completion. We define socially...
The purpose of our research is to develop lifelike behavior in a communication robot, which is expected to potentially make human-robot interaction more natural. Our previous rese...
This paper describes an extensive analysis of the comfort level data of 7 subjects with respect to 12 robot behaviours as part of a human-robot interaction trial. This includes ro...

We present a model of human-like reaching movements. This model is then used to give a humanoid robot the ability to imitate human reaching motions. It illustrates that having a r...
Human-robot interaction could be improved by designing robots that engage in adaptive dialogue with users. An adaptive robot could estimate the information needs of individuals an...
