Among several nonverbal behaviours we focus in this article on unintentional rhythmic entrainment and synchronization which has been proven to be highly important in intuitive and natural Human Human communication. Hence, the rising question is whether or no this phenomenon can be reproduced in a context of HRI and what are the prerequisites to ensure its emergence. In this paper, we study rhythmical interactions during imitation games between a NAO robot and naive subjects. We analysed two main types of interactions, a first where NAO performs movements at a fixed rhythm (unidirectional) and a second one where the robot is able to adopt the human motion dynamic (bidirectional) using a neural modelling of the entrainment effect based on dynamical systems. We show that using such model allows us to reach synchronization during the interactions and that both partners (robot and human) adapt their frequency as observed in natural HHI. This puts forward the importance of bidirectionality for HRI. Moreover, the participants shifted their motion dynamics during the interaction without noticing it, proving the presence of such unintentional rhythmic entrainment in HRI.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114786085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our previous works, we have developed a standing assistance system. Our assistive system consists of a powered walker and a standing assistance manipulator, and is small enough to be used in a typical narrow room such as a bathroom. Our system focuses on domestic use for elderly people who need nursing in their day-to-day lives. Usually, the body conditions of elderly users are different individually and required standing assistance schemes are also different. However, it is difficult to design the suitable standing assistance scheme according to the symptom of elderly users individually at real time because of its cost. Therefore, the proposed walker has several standing assistance patterns which are designed for the user of the different symptom and selects the suitable one for its user. Our idea is practicality for implementation with low cost. The performance of our proposed system was verified through experiments using our prototype with elderly and handicapped subjects.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114647405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we propose a novel teleoperation system that combines the replication of facial expressions of emotions (neutral, disgust, happiness, and surprise) and head movements on the fly on the humanoid robot Nao. Robots' expression of emotions is constrained by their physical and behavioural capabilities. As the Nao robot has a static face, we use the LEDs located around its eyes to reproduce the teleoperator expressions of emotions. Using a web camera, we computationally detect the facial action units and measure the head pose of the operator. The emotion to be replicated is inferred from the detected action units by a neural network. Simultaneously, the measured head motion is smoothed and bounded to the robot's physical limits by applying a constrained-state Kalman filter. In order to evaluate the proposed system, we conducted a user study by asking 28 participants to use the replication system by displaying facial expressions and head movements while being recorded by a web camera. Subsequently, 18 external observers viewed the recorded clips via an online survey and assessed the quality of the robot's replication of the participants' behaviours. Our results show that the proposed teleoperation system can successfully communicate emotions and head movements, resulting in a high agreement among the external observers (ICCE = 0.91, ICCHP = 0.72).","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129677874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ability gains additional importance when it comes to elderly people, since they find it more comfortable and natural to interact using voice, due to possible natural physical impairments that hinder the usage of some of the interaction modalities (e.g. touch screens). Challenges like recognition accuracy, distant speech, the idiosyncrasies of elderly voices (fading, muffled pronunciation, etc.), the effects of surrounding environment noise or the expressiveness of the robot when speaking, become highly relevant in the acceptance and usability of service robots by the ageing population. In this paper, we present the results, challenges and solutions developed during a nine-month iterative evaluation process that took place within the GrowMeUp project, with focus on speech recognition and synthesis. The paper concludes with an identification of open scientific and technological problems, based on our interpretation of results, which we identify as critical for the acceptance and usability of robots by an ageing society.","PeriodicalId":134777,"journal":{"name":"2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127433621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
