The deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is a double-edged sword. While the benefits are vast and varied, ranging from efficiency gains to new capabilities, the risks associated with AI deployment cannot be overlooked, mostly in the wake of the AI Act. Effective risk assessment is crucial to ensure that AI systems are safe, reliable, … Continue reading Risk Assessment in AI Deployment

Decoding Deception in Human-Robot Interaction
In the rapidly evolving field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), understanding the nuances of deception plays a pivotal role in shaping ethical frameworks and guiding responsible development. As robots increasingly become part of our daily lives, from social companions to assistive technologies, the potential for deceptive practices within these interactions warrants a closer examination. This blog … Continue reading Decoding Deception in Human-Robot Interaction
SOCIAL ROBOTS AND FACIAL EMOTIONS
Humans express emotion through various media. Humans use their faces to present internal affective states. Humans use speech to express emotion as well. Among various types of expressions of emotions, facial expressions are predominant. Various expressions displayed on humans' faces represent different cognitive processes. In communicative or interactive conditions, humans can recognize the emotion being … Continue reading SOCIAL ROBOTS AND FACIAL EMOTIONS
How Theory of Mind Enhances Transparency in Human-Robot Interaction
Imagine a world where robots are as common as smartphones. These robots help us with daily tasks, work alongside us, and even provide companionship. However, as much as they are part of our lives, there is often a disconnect. We see them move, act, and decide, yet we wonder, "Why did it do that?" One … Continue reading How Theory of Mind Enhances Transparency in Human-Robot Interaction
Trust in human-robot interaction: A measurement issue that stems from a theoretical gap?
Trust is probably one of the most complicated construct I have ever faced as a psychologist. It is this kind of phenomenon that everyone experiences on a daily basis, and can identify properly when experiencing it, which yet remains difficult to grasp scientifically. What is trust exactly? Where does it come from? How does it … Continue reading Trust in human-robot interaction: A measurement issue that stems from a theoretical gap?
INFLUENCE OF KINESTHETIC TEACHING (KT) ON HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION
Nowadays, robots are increasingly integrated into our daily life, from industrial Human-Robot collaboration settings (Matheson et al., 2019) to robots assigned to household chores or companion robots that are expected to emotionally and cognitively understand and interact with their users. They are transitioning from being seen as simple tools to being seen as interactive collaborators. … Continue reading INFLUENCE OF KINESTHETIC TEACHING (KT) ON HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION
The Path to Transparent Human-Robot Collaboration
In an age where robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, the quest for seamless human-robot interaction (HRI) has taken centre stage. The essence of this journey lies not just in enhancing the physical prowess of robots but in bridging the communication divide, enabling these machines to interact … Continue reading The Path to Transparent Human-Robot Collaboration
Robot autonomy and user involvement, the two key facets of robot adaptation?
In my first article in the blog from PERSEO project, I have introduced my project distinguishing personalization from customization. As a reminder, personalization is a system-driven sort of adaptation where the robot autonomously adapts to its user. Customization is a user-driven adaptation process where the user adapts the robot to their own preferences and needs. … Continue reading Robot autonomy and user involvement, the two key facets of robot adaptation?
