ABSTRACT
The ALIZ-E1 project's goal is to design a robot companion able to maintain affective interactions with young users over a period of time. One of these interactions consists in teaching a dance to hospitalized children according to their capabilities. We propose a methodology for adapting both, the movements used in the dance based on the user's cognitive and physical capabilities through a set of metrics, and the robot's interaction based on the user's personality traits.

A dancing robot for rhythmic social interaction
HRI '07: Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interactionThis paper describes a robotic system that uses dance as a form of social interaction to explore the properties and importance of rhythmic movement in general social interaction. The system consists of a small creature-like robot whose movement is ...
Which robot behavior can motivate children to tidy up their toys?: design and evaluation of "ranger"
HRI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interactionWe present the design approach and evaluation of our prototype called "Ranger". Ranger is a robotic toy box that aims to motivate young children to tidy up their room. We evaluated Ranger in 14 families with 31 children (2-10 years) using the Wizard-of-...
Parent Disciplining Styles to Prevent Children's Misbehaviors toward a Social Robot
HAI '19: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Human-Agent InteractionIn this paper we present a lab study on robot abuse by children. 61 Japanese children of ages 7-9 interacted individually with Robovie, a social robot, in a context that promoted children's free disruptive behaviors towards the robot. We compared the ...
