“…14 (lower). [4] examined direct communication via some "cooperative gestures" using a humanoid robot and found encouraging results for the recognition of robotic gestures by humans, depending on certain conditions regarding their execution speed and direction. In this paper, we focus on the possibilities of displaying gestures that are observed in human-human-interaction during collaborative assembly scenarios by robotic systems of different anthropomorphism.…”

Abstract-The increasing ability of industrial robots to perform complex tasks in collaboration with humans requires more capable ways of communication and interaction. Traditional systems use separate interfaces such as touchscreens or control panels in order to operate the robot, or to communicate its state and prospective actions to the user. Transferring human communication, such as gestures to technical non-humanoid robots, creates various opportunities for more intuitive humanrobot-interaction. Interaction shall no longer require a separate interface such as a control panel. Instead, it should take place directly between human and robot. To explore intuitive interaction, we identified gestures that are relevant for co-working tasks from human observations. Based on a decomposition approach we transferred them to robotic systems of increasing abstraction and experimentally evaluated how well these gestures are recognized by humans. We created a humanrobot interaction use-case in order to perform the task of handling dangerous liquid. Results indicate that several gestures are well perceived when displayed with context information regarding the task.

“…This thread of research has shown that gestures positively shape participants' affective states [22], behavioral responses to the gestures [28], engagement in the interaction [5], and perceptions of the robot when gestures and speech are mismatched [30]. Such research involved laboratory studies in which participants performed a task with a physical robot [5,30] or video-based studies in which participants observed robots performing gestures [22,23,28].…”

Abstract-Gestures support and enrich speech across various forms of communication. Effective use of gestures by speakers improves not only the listeners' comprehension of the spoken material but also their perceptions of the speaker. How might robots use gestures to improve human-robot interaction? What gestures are most effective in achieving such improvements? This paper seeks answers to these questions by presenting a model of human gestures and a system-level evaluation of how robots might selectively use different types of gestures to improve interaction outcomes, such as user task performance and perceptions of the robot, in a narrative performance scenario. The results show that robot deictic gestures consistently predict users' information recall, that all types of gestures affect user perceptions of the robot's performance as a narrator, and that males and females show significant differences in their responses to robot gestures. These results have strong implications for designing effective robot gestures that improve human-robot interaction.

“…Most of the work, however, relates to the face (e.g. [26], [22]), as facial expressions are the most direct channel for conveying emotions. Those robots are usually designed to be close enough so that humans can "read their faces".…”

The context of this work is to develop, adapt and integrate augmented reality related tools to enhance the emotion involved in cultural performances. Part of the work was dedicated to augmenting a stage in a live performance, with dance as an application case. In this paper, we present a milestone of this work, an augmented dance show that brings together several tools and technologies that were developed over the project's lifetime. This is the result of mixing an artistic process with scientific research and development. This augmented show brings to stage issues from the research fields of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) and Augmented Reality (AR). Virtual elements are added on stage (visual and audio) and the dancer is able to interact with them in real-time, using different interaction techniques. The originality of this work is threefold. Firstly, we propose a set of movement-based interaction techniques that can be used independently on stage or in another context. In this set, some techniques are direct, while others go through a high level of abstraction. Namely, we performed movement-based emotion recognition on the dancer, and used the recognized emotions to generate emotional music pieces and emotional poses for a humanoid robot. Secondly, those interaction techniques rely on various interconnected systems that can be reassembled. We hence propose an integrated, interactive system for augmenting a live performance, a context where system failure is not tolerated. The final system can be adapted following the artist's preferences. Finally, those systems were validated through an on field experiment -the show itself -after which we gathered and analyzed the feedback from both the audience and the choreographer.
