ABSTRACT
Our environments are increasingly being populated with intelligent devices and robots. People use digital assistants with speech interfaces to play music, find out about the weather, or call a taxi. Such interfaces are designed for single user control, and often fail when multiple people interact simultaneously. For instance, if two users keep asking for a different song, the digital assistant will keep changing the music with no regards for users' comfort or any conflict that may arise. As these devices are shared, it is crucial that the interface is built to consider more than one user. This work investigates which control schemes are suitable for multiple users to simultaneously interact with a single domestic cleaning robot. The control schemes will be tested with small groups of people who live together. Our work will inform researchers on how to build control schemes that are acceptable and suitable in shared environments.

People's perception of domestic service robots: same household, same opinion?
ICSR'11: Proceedings of the Third international conference on Social RoboticsThe study presented in this paper examined people's perception of domestic service robots by means of an ethnographic study. We investigated initial reactions of nine households who lived with a Roomba vacuum cleaner robot over a two week period. To ...
Comparing Social Robot, Screen and Voice Interfaces for Smart-Home Control
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWith domestic technology on the rise, the quantity and complexity of smart-home devices are becoming an important interaction design challenge. We present a novel design for a home control interface in the form of a social robot, commanded via tangible ...
Exploring the use of tangible user interfaces for human-robot interaction: a comparative study
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we suggest the use of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for human-robot interaction (HRI) applications. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach while focusing on low-level of autonomy tasks. We present an experimental robotic ...
