Human-Robot Interaction},
BOOKTITLE = {4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction},
NOTE = {submitted, to appear, best paper finalist},
ABSTRACT = {Humans rely on a finely tuned ability to recognize and adapt
to socially relevant patterns in their everyday face-to-face interactions.
This allows them to anticipate the actions of others,
coordinate their behaviors, and create shared meaning—
in short, to communicate. Social robots must likewise be able
to recognize and perform relevant social patterns, including
interactional synchrony, imitation, and particular sequences
of behaviors. We use existing empirical work in the social
sciences and observations of human interaction to develop
nonverbal interactive capabilities for a robot in the context
of shadow puppet play, where people interact through shadows
of hands cast against a wall. We show how information
theoretic quantities can be used to model interaction between
humans and to generate interactive controllers for a
robot. Finally, we evaluate the resulting model in an embodied
human-robot interaction study. We show the benefit of
modeling interaction as a joint process rather than modeling
individual agents.}

TITLE = {“Outside-in” Design for Interdisciplinary HRI Research},
BOOKTITLE = { AAAI 2009 Spring Symposium on Experimental Design for Real-World Systems},
NOTE = {submitted},
ABSTRACT = {Interaction with robotic technologies in the real world
poses both social and technical challenges. We use an
“outside-in”1 design strategy, iterating between real-world
observation, technology design, and interactive evaluation,
to develop a research partnership across the traditional
divide of humanities/social sciences and the natural/
technological sciences. We describe the outside-in design
process in the context of shadow puppetry, which we
present as a model system for studying dyadic nonverbal interaction.
Our research begins with a keen appreciation for
observation and reliance on existing empirical research for
understanding the nuances of human interaction that can be
applied to robots. Socially interactive robots, in turn, are
used as test-beds for theories and models of interactivity that
contribute to our understanding of human social behavior
and the attribution of human characteristics to non-humans.}
