Accessible Integration of Physiological Adaptation in Human-Robot Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-21)Technological advancements in creating and commercializing novel unobtrusive wearable physiological sensors have generated new opportunities to develop adaptive human-robot interaction (HRI). Detecting complex human states ... -
Development of a Social Robot as a Mediator for Intergenerational Gameplay & Development of a Canvas for the Conceptualisation of HRI Game Design
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-21)Intergenerational interaction between grandparents and grandchildren benefits both generations. The use of a social robot in mediating this interaction is a relatively unexplored area of research. Often Human-Robot ... -
Engineering Social Learning Mechanisms for Multi-Agent Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-14)This thesis is strongly inspired by literature on animal social learning, applying it to multi-robot as well as human-robot interaction scenarios, Social learning, which can include complex or simple social mechanisms, ... -
Exploring Human Teachers' Interpretations of Trainee Robots' Nonverbal Behaviour and Errors
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-22)In the near future, socially intelligent robots that can learn new tasks from humans may become widely available and gain an opportunity to help people more and more. In order to successfully play a role, not only should ... -
Integrating Affective Expressions into Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue to Improve Human-Robot Communication
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-13)Unexplained or ambiguous behaviours of rescue robots can lead to inefficient collaborations between humans and robots in robot-assisted SAR teams. To date, rescue robots do not have the ability to interact with humans on ...
