Gaze in Human-Robot Communication is a volume collecting recent research studying gaze behaviour in human-robot interaction (HRI). The selected articles draw inspiration from related research into gaze in human-human interaction in fields ranging from ethnography to neuroscience. The major themes of these articles include: the experimental investigation of human responses to robot gaze, the investigation of the impact of coordinating gaze acts with speech, and the development of hardware and software technologies for enabling robot gaze. This volume provides an excellent introduction to the depth and breadth of this growing research area in HRI. The highly interdisciplinary nature of the work presented should make it of interest both to robotics researchers and to researchers from other fields with an interest in the role of gaze in communication. Originally published in Interaction Studies Vol. 14:3 (2013).
Human-Robot Interaction
This book offers the first comprehensive yet critical overview of methods used to evaluate interaction between humans and social robots. It reviews commonly used evaluation methods, and shows that they are not always suitable for this purpose. Using representative case studies, the book identifies good and bad practices for evaluating human-robot interactions and proposes new standardized processes as well as recommendations, carefully developed on the basis of intensive discussions between specialists in various HRI-related disciplines, e.g. psychology, ethology, ergonomics, sociology, ethnography, robotics, and computer science. The book is the result of a close, long-standing collaboration between the editors and the invited contributors, including, but not limited to, their inspiring discussions at the workshop on Evaluation Methods Standardization for Human-Robot Interaction (EMSHRI), which have been organized yearly since 2015. By highlighting and weighing good and bad practices in evaluation design for HRI, the book will stimulate the scientific community to search for better solutions, take advantages of interdisciplinary collaborations, and encourage the development of new standards to accommodate the growing presence of robots in the day-to-day and social lives of human beings.
Human Factors and Cognitive Ergonomics in Advanced Industrial Human-Robot Interaction
Advanced collaborative robotics will be one of the most promising technologies in future industry (e.g., in manufacturing, logistics, or construction). Human-robot interaction and collaboration will be crucial for enhancing the operator’s work conditions and wellbeing, as well as production performance. In that regard, human-factors, with a special emphasis on cognitive ergonomics are fundamental to implementing safe, fluent, and efficient collaborative applications. Associated challenges and opportunities, as well as design recommendations for interactive robotic systems, must be considered likewise. The general target of the present Research Topic is to contribute to the expansion of knowledge in this field, promoting research focused on the study of human factors and cognitive ergonomics in user-centered and collaborative applications in industrial settings. In particular, it aims to enhance the benefits related to human-robot interaction by limiting, as much as possible, the negative effects on the user’s safety and wellbeing that can arise from an improper design and management of collaborative applications, as well as optimizing production system performances.
