Access paper here Abstract:Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) have been found to be relevant tools for collaborative learning by providing a shared workspace and enhancing joint visual attention. Researchers have explored the use of TUIs in a variety of curricular activities and found them particularly interesting for spatial exploration. However, very few studies have explored how TUIs could be used as a collaborative medium for people with visual impairments (VIs). In this study, we investigated the effect of tangible interaction (a small tangible robot) in a spatial collaborative task (a treasure hunt) involving two people with VIs. The aim was to evaluate the impact of the design of the TUI on the collaboration and the strategies used to perform the task. The experiment involved six dyads of people with VIs. The results showed that the collaboration was impacted by the interaction design and open interesting perspectives on the design of collaborative games for people with VIs.

Access paper here Abstract:This study reviews published scientific literature on the use of swarm robots for education purposes in the last ten years. It focuses on user studies involving robotics swarm in order to identify the potential contributions of the incorporation of swarm robots as an educational tool and insight future research. We consider here the appearance of swarm robots, the curriculum of the experimental task and the interaction modalities between learners and robots. The outcomes of the literature review are discussed in terms of their existing challenges and opportunities for guiding researchers, educators, and practitioners.

title: “The Valley of non-Distraction: Effect of Robot's Human-likeness on Perception Load” collection: publications permalink: /publication/2021-01-01-The-Valley-of-non-Distraction-Effect-of-Robots-Human-likeness-on-Perception-Load date: 2021-01-01 venue: ‘In the proceedings of Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI '21 Companion), March 8–11, 2021, Boulder,CO, USA’ citation: ‘ Daisy Ingle, Nadine Marcus, Wafa Johal, "The Valley of non-Distraction: Effect of Robot's Human-likeness on Perception Load." In the proceedings of Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI '21 Companion), March 8–11, 2021, Boulder,CO, USA, 2021.’ —Abstract:”Previous research in psychology has found that human faces have the capability of being more distracting under high perceptual load conditions compared to non-face objects. This project aims to assess the distracting potential of robot faces based on their human-likeliness. As a first step, this paper reports on our initial findings based on an online study. We used a letter search task where participants had to search for a target letter within a circle of 6 letters, whilst an irrelevant distractor image was also present. The results of our experiment replicated previous results with human faces and non-face objects. Additionally, in the tasks where the irrelevant distractors are images of robot faces, the human-likeness of the robot influenced the response time (RT). Interestingly, the robot Alter produced results significantly different than all other distractor robots. The outcome of this is a distraction model related to human-likeness of robots. Our results show the impact of anthropomorphism on distracting potential and thus should be taken into account when designing robots.”
