Pilot Study of Person Robot Interaction in a Public Transit Space
[chapter]
2009
Communications in Computer and Information Science
This paper describes a study of the effect of a human interactive robot placed in an urban transit space. ...
The underlying hypothesis is that it is possible to create interesting new living spaces and induce value in terms of experiences, information or economics, by putting socially interactive mobile agents ...
The above research concerns how to implement a robot in public spaces, but where are the actual potential of mobile agents in public spaces? ...

Socially contingent humanoid robot head behaviour results in increased charity donations
2016
2016 11th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)
The role of robot social behaviour in changing people's behaviour is an interesting and yet still open question, with the general assumption that social behaviour is beneficial. ...
In this study, we examine the effect of socially contingent robot behaviours on a charity collection task. ...
Nevertheless, we have demonstrated here the basis for further investigation into the role of head-based socially contingent behaviours on the donation behaviours of casual passers-by in a public space, ...

Friends, robots, citizens?
2016
Computers & society
This paper asks whether and how an artefact, such as a robot, could be considered a citizen. In doing so, it approaches questions of political freedom and artefacts. ...
: Where the robot is embodied such that it has interests in the nature of public space, it can be considered as capable of taking part in social cognition embedded in details of the environment. ...
This can be done via Searle's notion of 'the Background' and the idea of 'civic nous'.
