(Gestures Vaguely): The Effects of Robots’ Use of Abstract Pointing Gestures in Large-Scale Environments
Abstract As robots are deployed into large-scale human environments, they will need to engage in task-oriented dialogues about objects and locations beyond those that can currently be seen. In these contexts, speakers use a wide range of referring gestures beyond those used in the small-scale interaction contexts that HRI research typically investigates. In this work,…

Towards Reproducible Language-Based HRI Experiments: Open-Sourcing a Generalized Experiment Project
Abstract We are witnessing increasing calls for reproducibility and replicability in HRI studies to improve reliability and confidence in empirical findings. One solution to facilitate this is using a robot platform that researchers frequently use, making it easier to replicate studies to verify results. In this work, we focus on a popular, affordable, and rich-in-functionality…
