The "social robots" workshop

Monday, May 17, 2004


“ROB, the social bot” is a new interaction approach that combines service design with social robots. The workshop investigates this idea by creating a new service that will deliver to the customers a social experience of mechanics. By using the technique of “prove of evidence”, Valerio, Siméon and Nicolas created a promotional video for a fictional company to launch these new brand services.

"social robots" / MID-Ecal (Switzerland) May 2004 Workshop

Aloy!
Here some PDF papers that raise the issues we will work for this project about “social robots”.

anthropomorphism_and_Robotics
anthropomorphism_social_robots
autonomous_robotics
Embodied_Mobile_Robots
Empowerment_autonomous_robotics
From_Fiction_to_Science
Language_Of_Machines
Performance_social_Robots
Robot_drama
robot_that_stands_in_line
romancing_the robots

These papers are mainly questioning the idea of social robot as machines that “mimic” human’s behaviors (from facial expression to social protocols). For example the paper “romancing robots” give an overview of these subjects. “Anthropomorphisms and robotics” and “Anthropomorphisms and social robots” go in detail about facial expression and human-like robots. “From fiction to science” you find a synthesis about film and robot “main character” history.
Two interesting micro-research about the “robot that stands in line” and “robot drama”. One-liners of machines that behave with a narrative of drama and protocol.

Key words for further research are the following...

Social robots, anthropomorphism, autonomous, social intelligence, embodiment, emotion, social behavior, protocol
