ABSTRACT
My research concerns group influence and prosocial behavior in a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) context. My collaborators and I created and ran an experiment (N = 30) to measure if the emotional responses of a group of robots could induce participants to take prosocial action against robot abuse. Participants completed a collaborative block-building task with a confederate, during which the confederate abused one robot after it made mistakes. We measured participants' responses to these events. The results of the study indicate that humans are more likely to prosocially intervene when the bystander robots react in sadness as opposed to when they ignore the abuse. They motivate further research on social influence and group dynamics within HRI.

Escaping from Children's Abuse of Social Robots
HRI '15: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionSocial robots working in public space often stimulate children's curiosity. However, sometimes children also show abusive behavior toward robots. In our case studies, we observed in many cases that children persistently obstruct the robot's activity. ...
Inducing Bystander Interventions During Robot Abuse with Social Mechanisms
HRI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionWe explored whether a robot can leverage social influences to motivate nearby bystanders to intervene and defend them from human abuse. We designed a between-subjects study where 48 participants took part in a memorization task and observed a ...
Prompting Prosocial Human Interventions in Response to Robot Mistreatment
HRI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionInspired by the benefits of human prosocial behavior, we explore whether prosocial behavior can be extended to a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) context. More specifically, we study whether robots can induce prosocial behavior in humans through a 1x2 ...
