ABSTRACT
We propose "Shelly", a robot for restraining children»s abusive behaviors toward the robot. The robot»s overall system and its unique multi-modal interface are discussed first. Then, the result of an early stage evaluation of robot»s designed behaviors is explained. Finally, a primary function - the robot suspending all interactions for a period by hiding its head and limbs inside the shell - is proposed to restrain children»s robot abusing. The results show that the function, with an appropriate operating time, effectively reduces children»s robot abusing while maintaining their engagement with the robot.

Shelly, a Tortoise-Like Robot for One-to-Many Interaction with Children
HRI '18: Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionWe designed "Shelly", a robot interacting with children while restraining children»s robot abusing behaviors. Shelly has a tortoise-like friendly appearance and touch based simple and versatile interface, which encourages children to interact with the ...
Developing therapeutic robot for children with autism: a study on exploring colour feedback
HRI '13: Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interactionPrevious studies have reported that autistic children improved the social interaction and communication skills through interacting with robots. Most studies in the field of robot-assisted autism therapy, however, have focused on limited communication ...
Robot-Mediated Interaction Between Children and Older Adults: A Pilot Study for Greeting Tasks in Nursery Schools
HRI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionRobot-mediated interaction may be one of the best approaches to overcome the implementation-related limitations of face-to-face interaction between children and older adults. However, there has been little research about development or demonstration of ...
