Socially interactive robots are expected to have an increasing importance in human society. For social robots to provide long-term added value to people's lives, it is of major importance to stress the need for positive user experience UX of such ...

In this paper we suggest the use of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for human-robot interaction (HRI) applications. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach while focusing on low-level of autonomy tasks. We present an experimental robotic ...

'Food', when mentioned in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research, is most often in the context of functional applications of automation, delivery, and assistance. Food has, however, not been explored as a medium for social expression or building ...
