  3. 7. User-centred design of an outreach robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ying He; [2023]
    Keywords : Human-Robot Interaction; Outreach Robot; Adolescents; Gender bias;

    Abstract : The goal of this project is to involve adolescents in the design of their own social robots, and to explore their concerns and opinions about social robots during the design process. To support their design efforts, I have developed a digital toolkit that includes features for customizing the appearance, personality, and reactive behaviors of the robots. READ MORE

  4. 8. Intelligible dialogue manager for social robots : An AI dialogue robot solution based on Rasa open-source framework and Pepper robot

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Jiangeng Sun; [2023]
    Keywords : Rasa; understandable robots; HRI;

    Abstract : In the process of Human-Robot Interaction, improving the intelligibility of robots is crucial. Intelligibility refers to the degree to which humans can understand robot behavior and decision-making. When humans interact with low-intelligibility robots, it can lead to a series of problems, such as misunderstanding and trust issues. READ MORE
