TL;DR: The first evaluation iterations have shown the potential of this methodology in terms of adaptation of the robot to the interactant and the resulting influences on engagement, setting the foundation for an ongoing research program that seeks to develop technologies for social robot companions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The ability of the system to induce a varied interaction is demonstrated and the potential of this approach both as an educational tool and as a research method for long-term cHRI is shown.
Proceedings Article
Long-term human-robot interaction with young users
TL;DR: This paper introduces an approach that integrates multiple functional aspects necessary to implement temporally extended human-robot interaction in the setting of a paediatric ward and presents the methodology for the implementation of a companion robot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Real-Time Emotion Recognition from Body Movements
TL;DR: A real-time system that continuously recognizes emotions from body movements is proposed, and a novel semisupervised adaptive algorithm is built on top of the conventional Random Forests classifier.
Book ChapterDOI
Context-independent facial action unit recognition using shape and gabor phase information
TL;DR: The combination of shape features and Phase-based Gabor features for context-independent Action Unit Recognition is investigated, and three regions of interest have been devised that efficiently capture the AUs activation/deactivation areas.
