Abstract

This study takes a novel approach to the topic of perspective taking in HRI. In a human behavioral experiment, we examined whether and in what circumstances people spontaneously take a humanoid robot's visual perspective. We found that specific nonverbal behaviors displayed by a robot--namely, referential gaze and goal-directed reaching--led human viewers to take the robot's visual perspective, though marginally less frequently than when they encounter the same behaviors displayed by another human. This project identifies specific features of robot behavior that trigger spontaneous social-cognitive processes in human viewers and informs the design of interactive robots in the future.

More Than Meets the Eye? An Experimental Design to Test Robot Visual Perspective-Taking Facilitators Beyond Mere-Appearance
HRI '24: Companion of the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction

Visual Perspective Taking (VPT) underpins human social interaction, from joint action to predicting others' future actions and mentalizing about their goals and affective/mental states. Substantial progress has been made in developing artificial VPT ...
Do People Spontaneously Take a Robot's Visual Perspective?
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction

Visual perspective taking plays a fundamental role in both human-human interaction and human-robot interaction (HRI). In three experiments, we took a novel approach to the topic of visual perspective taking in HRI, examining whether, and under what ...
