ABSTRACT
This paper presents an exploratory research on the proxemics behavior occurring during child-robot interaction. Due to the increase in usage of NAO robots in child environments and applications, it is increasingly important to design an appropriate model for proximate interaction for children of different age groups. For this purpose we conducted an exploratory study »in the wild» inviting 26 children. Our main findings indicate that proximity depends on age. Future work is needed to understand the factors that influence child-robot proxemics.
