Being echoed by the proven benefits and impact of people's social interaction skills, considerable attention has been paid to generating non-verbal cues for social robots. In particular, communicative gestures help social robots emphasize the thoughts in their speech, describing something or conveying their feelings using bodily movements. This paper introduces a generative framework for producing communicative gestures to better enforce the semantic contents that social robots express. The proposed model is inspired by the Conditional Generative Adversarial Network and built upon a convolutional neural network. The experimental results confirmed that a variety of motions could be generated for expressing input contexts. The framework can produce synthetic actions defined in a high number of upper body joints, allowing social robots to clearly express sophisticated contexts. Indeed, the fully implemented model shows better performance than the one without Action Encoder and Decoder. Finally, the generated motions were transformed into the target robot and combined with the robot's speech, with an expectation of gaining broad social acceptance.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123906011","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}

Considering that such patients will be using the orthoses at home or workplace, we proposed to integrate an activity meter that is already commercially available as a medical device into an existing orthosis to convert it to an IoT -enabled orthosis. The scope includes developing a method to attach the activity meter to the ankle-foot orthosis using a jig devised by us, and an algorithm to determine the operation status of the orthosis using the data obtained from the activity meter by application of IoT. To confirm the effectiveness of the IoT -enabled ankle-foot orthosis in meeting the requirements, we conducted several short-term and long-term experiments to judge the status of the subject while putting-on/removal of the orthosis, during normal routine activities at home and workplace, and at rest. We evaluated the results of the experiments to verify the quality of the data, reliability of the IoT/cloud network, and the effectiveness of the algorithm to interpret the data to actionable information.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116055712","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}

We have investigated the preference and user experience of the senior participants that a robot approaches with expressive movement that is tailored or incongruent to the message the robot brings. Twelve elderly experienced three scenarios with different messages varying from good news, bad news, and functional news, accompanied by the corresponding approaching behavior and body posture. The user experience of these elderly was evaluated during these scenarios using a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The participants were interviewed about their experience, preference, and motivation for the different robot motion behaviors. The analysis showed no significant difference in user experiences in the good news and functional news scenarios. Also, no clear preference among the different robot behaviors was found. However, a significant preference for congruence in the sad news scenario was found with a clear preference for the sad approaching behavior.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127582387","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}

User trust plays an important role in the human decision-making process for whether to accept or reject a robot's recommendation. Prior work in HRI has investigated various robot-related, task-related, and user-related factors that influence human-robot trust. This work further examines task and user-related factors influencing user trust during a robot-assisted emotion classification task when the embodiment of the robot is left for the user to conceptualize. The chosen task-related factors manipulate the level of certainty in the images to be labeled and the gender alignment between the individual in the image stimuli and the participant. We further consider participant gender, parental status, level of interaction with children, level of comfortability with robots and conceptual robot embodiment. An online between-subjects experiment was conducted with 241 participants. Experimental results show that task certainty and gender alignment along with level of comfortability with robots, level of interaction with children and conceptual embodiment all had significant effects on human-robot trust. Notably, participants who described their conceptual embodiment of the robot with human-like characteristics reported higher levels of trust than those who did not. These findings provide insights that contribute to a greater understanding of factors influencing human-robot trust during a situated scenario involving robot recommendation.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128683491","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}

A number of modest but new improvements such as sensing using a 3D non-linear Lidar, unique navigation implementation, filtering using a predictive sliding window filter with mutating window size, coverage planning using custom parametric function and pseudo-velocity control are made which lead to an appreciable increase in performance of the integrated system. This allows the UAV to achieve higher levels of operating capability than currently reported. These improvements are reported in detail. Real world experiments are conducted which demonstrate the feasibility of endowing autonomy to UAVs for successfully executing small maintenance tasks when coating thickness requirements are in the order of hundreds of microns. Social impacts include improving worker safety conditions when performing inspection and maintenance at heights by eliminating scaffolding construction and reducing manual effort.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115409832","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}

Rigorous system design requires a logical formalization of a robot's desired behavior, including the social obligations that constrain its actions. The preferences of the society hosting these robots are a natural source of these obligations. Thus we ask: how can we turn a popu-lation's preferences concerning robot behavior into a logico-mathematical specification that we can use to design the robot's controllers? We use non-deterministic weighted automata to model a robot's behavioral algorithms, and we use the deontic logic of Dominance Act Utilitarianism (DAU) to model the robot's social and ethical obligations. Given a set of automaton executions, and pair-wise comparisons between the executions, we develop simple algorithms to infer the automaton's weights, and compare them to existing methods; these weights are then turned into logical obligation formulas in DAU. We bound the sensitivity of the inferred weights to changes in the comparisons. We evaluate empirically the degree to which the obligations inferred from these various methods differ from each other.","PeriodicalId":156296,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134388949","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}
