TLDR
This work explores the role and impact of a social robot in facilitating human-to-human engagement in an assisted-living community and investigates their long-term impact on community-level engagement.Abstract:
Social robots have been used to investigate human-to-robot engagement-but connection between one person and another is the real key for human emotional wellness. This work explores the role and impact of a social robot in facilitating human-to-human engagement in an assisted-living community. Older adults, in particular, are a population in need of sufficient social connectedness to promote their well-being. While several studies have sought to investigate how social robots can help to improve older adults? quality of life, not many have studied their long-term impact on community-level engagement.read more

Tell me more! Assessing interactions with social robots from speech
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the feasibility of using social robots for eliciting rich disclosures that identify needs and emotional states in human interaction partners, and found that participants overall disclose more to humans than artificial agents, that agents' embodiment influences disclosure quantity and quality, and that people are generally aware of differences in their personal disclosures to three agents studied here.

TL;DR: Assessment of the impact that embodiment and failure severity have on people's behaviours and their perception of robots shows that when using a smart-speaker embodiment, failures negatively affect users' intention to frequently interact with the device, however not when use a human-like robot embodiment.

Long-Term Co-Design Guidelines: Empowering Older Adults as Co-Designers of Social Robots
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidelines for long-term co-design for how other researchers can adopt long- term codesign, informed by a 12-month codesign with older adults designing a social social robot, which leveraged human-centered, tactile and experiential design activities, including participatory design.

Are friends electric? The benefits and risks of human-robot relationships
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the balance between benefit and risk through the lens of human-robot relationships and advocate a relational rather than essentialist view, considering the balance of benefits and harms that can arise from different types of relationship with social robots.

Behavioural Responses to Robot Conversational Failures
TL;DR: The results suggest that speech behaviours are utilised more in responses to failures when non-human-like designs are present, particularly important to robot failure detection mechanisms that may need to consider the robot’s physical design in its failure detection model.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Living With Seal Robots—Its Sociopsychological and Physiological Influences on the Elderly at a Care House
K.. Wada,Takanori Shibata +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that interaction with the seal robots increased their social interaction, and urinary tests showed that the reactions of the subjects' vital organs to stress improved after the introduction of the robots.
