“…Our initial results, reported in Williams et al (2014), did not show any effects related to cooperativity (H2) or efficiency (H4). While we did not find main effects relating to creepiness (H3), we observed interesting interaction effects between participant gender, condition, autonomy ratings, and creepiness ratings: For women in the verbal condition only, strong positive correlations were found between creepiness and non-autonomy when asked whether the robot seemed more like a person or a remote-controlled system (r = .719, p = .004) and whether the robot seemed to be remotely controlled (r = .743, p = .002).…”

As future human-robot teams are envisioned for a variety of application domains, researchers have begun to investigate how humans and robots can communicate effectively and naturally in the context of human-robot team tasks. While a growing body of work is focused on human-robot communication and human perceptions thereof, there is currently little work on human perceptions of robot-robot communication. Understanding how robots should communicate information to each other in the presence of human teammates is an important open question for human-robot teaming. In this paper, we present two human-robot interaction (HRI) experiments investigating the human perception of verbal and silent robotrobot communication as part of a human-robot team task. The results suggest that silent communication of task-dependent, human-understandable information among robots is perceived as creepy by cooperative, co-located human teammates. Hence, we propose that, absent specific evidence to the contrary, robots in cooperative human-robot team settings need to be sensitive to human expectations about overt communication, and we encourage future work to investigate possible ways to modulate such expectations.

“…In response to the same question, a doctor explained that a robot would "put it all in a box and pick it up on a drone and deliver it to you"(5292). Participants did not comment directly on the implications of robots following (or not) a human model for executing tasks, but research in HRI is starting to pay attention to the way in which human-robot interactions are impacted by the way tasks are performed by the robot [73]. The shopping task described by the participants is impersonal and distal enough that one might not have any preferences for how it is performed, but for other more personal and intimate tasks, such as grooming and bathing people might have more clear expectations and preferences for how they should be done.…”

As AI-enabled robots enter the realm of healthcare and caregiving, it is important to consider how they will address the dimensions of care and how they will interact not just with the direct receivers of assistance, but also with those who provide it (e.g., caregivers, healthcare providers etc.). Caregiving in its best form addresses challenges in a multitude of dimensions of a person's life: from physical, to socialemotional and sometimes even existential dimensions (such as issues surrounding life and death). In this study we use semi-structured qualitative interviews administered to healthcare professions with multidisciplinary backgrounds (physicians, public health professionals, social workers, and chaplains) to understand their expectations regarding the possible roles robots may play in the healthcare ecosystem in the future. We found

“…While in the previous approaches, human-robot physical contact is monitored, in [17], the authors establish an interaction scheme based on gaze recognition of the human co-operator. Even the role of robot-telepathy is evaluated in [93]. In this field of robot intelligence, common metrics and a standardized approach, however, are still missing.…”

Mobile robotics is already well established in today’s production lines. Navigation, control and perception for mobile robots are vivid fields of research fostering advances in Industry 4.0. In order to increase the flexibility of such mobile platforms, it is also common practice to add serial manipulator arms to their yielding systems with nine degrees of freedom and more. These platforms are not limited to industry but are supportive in various field such as service, assistance, teleoperation and also rehabilitation. Due to the operation of such increasingly complex systems in less structured and dynamic environments - often in close contact with humans - more demanding challenges evolve in terms of systems design, control and sensors. These challenges are also reflected in the various RoboCup leagues. In this paper, we discuss state-of-the-art developments in mobile manipulation using developments and work done in the context of the RoboCup competition as design examples. Additionally, we elaborate on the recent challenges of the RoboCup Rescue League as well as on the RoboCup@Work League.
