ABSTRACT
Once a museum guide robot is deployed in the real world, it is faced with the difficulty to deal with user utterances within a noisy environment. We present explorative analysis of the ways in which visitors signal trouble on a multimodal level when they have difficulties in understanding the robot. Such moments of trouble are investigated in the context of robot-to-group situations. Analysis will give insights into the visitors conduct at moments of trouble in robot-to-single-user and robot-to-group interactions. In a limited data set, we found that members of a group show internal gaze coordination between each other when trouble occurs due to the robot's inadequate behavior. Implications will be drawn for further developing the interactional capabilities of an autonomous robot system to be attentive and responsive to the users' needs.

Museum guide robot based on sociological interaction analysis
CHI '07: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe are currently working on a museum guide robot with an emphasis on "friendly" human-robot interaction displayed through nonverbal behaviors. In this paper, we focus on head gestures during explanations of exhibits. The outline of our research is as ...
How to Open an Interaction Between Robot and Museum Visitor?: Strategies to Establish a Focused Encounter in HRI
HRI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionOn the basis of a video corpus of human-robot-interaction in a museum guide scenario, we address the challenge how a robot could determine the appropriate moment of opening an interaction with a visitor. Considering such "openings" as a stepwise ...
A techno-sociological solution for designing a museum guide robot: regarding choosing an appropriate visitor
HRI '12: Proceedings of the seventh annual ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-Robot InteractionIn this paper, we present our work designing a robot that explains an exhibit to multiple visitors in a museum setting, based on ethnographic analysis of interactions between expert human guides and visitors. During the ethnographic analysis, we ...
