“…There is some previous robotics research that attempts to address timing and pacing of interactions outside of task contexts. One example is work on the Keepon robot that uses the idea of rhythmic synchrony in interactions with children (Kozima, Michalowski, & Nakagawa, 2009). Another is a percussionist robot that takes turns with human musicians during improvisation (Weinberg & Blosser, 2009).…”

Turn-taking interactions with humans are multimodal and reciprocal in nature. In addition, the timing of actions is of great importance, as it influences both social and task strategies. To enable the precise control and analysis of timed discrete events for a robot, we develop a system for multimodal collaboration based on a timed Petri net (TPN) representation. We also argue for action interruptions in reciprocal interaction and describe its implementation within our system. Using the system, our autonomously operating humanoid robot Simon collaborates with humans through both speech and physical action to solve the Towers of Hanoi, during which the human and the robot take turns manipulating objects in a shared physical workspace. We hypothesize that action interruptions have a positive impact on turn-taking and evaluate this in the Towers of Hanoi domain through two experimental methods. One is a between-groups user study with 16 participants. The other is a simulation experiment using 200 simulated users of varying speed, initiative, compliance, and correctness. In these experiments, action interruptions are either present or absent in the system. Our collective results show that action interruptions lead to increased task efficiency through increased user initiative, improved interaction balance, and higher sense of fluency. In arriving at these results, we demonstrate how these evaluation methods can be highly complementary in the analysis of interaction dynamics.

Humanoid robots with artificial intelligence is very captivating field for people, since the robots are introduced. For humanoid robots we can introduce new ideas without any limitations and constraints but in reality there are limitations to implement them. In this paper we are discussing different humanoid robots with their practical applications. Based on their implementation structure detailed comparison of their characteristics is performed and on this bases some limitations and future work has been discussed.

“…The reason we chose this target group is twofold: 1) there is a large demand for this type of robot for treatments of developmental disorders such as autism [1] and 2) other social robots (e.g. [2][3][4] [5]) exist within this segment, providing us with a reference point to compare our robot to. By narrowing our focus to this application area, we gain more specific information about the usage context of the robot, which is helpful in the design process.…”

Abstract-One of the major obstacles in the study of humanrobot interaction with social robots is the lack of platforms to allow for tests with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots prohibits using more than a handful of robots. Another factor is that with commercial platforms, the robots do not possess all the necessary features to perform an experiment and due to the closed nature of the platform, extensive modifications are nearly impossible. To address this problem, a new social robotics platform, OPSORO, is presented. The platform uses an innovative modular system design that enables the creation of different embodiments to represent anthropomorphic robots focusing on face-to-face communication. Our goal is to offer a platform for the development of robotic characters, typically within the context of therapeutics or entertainment. OPSORO is a unique system that provides real personalization of social robots.
