Abstract
This demonstration presents a robotic footstool--the mechanical ottoman--which approaches seated people and offers to support their feet, or alternatively can serve as seat or side table, then bids to take leave once engaged in the interaction.

Mechanical Ottoman: Engaging and Taking Leave
HRI'15 Extended Abstracts: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction Extended AbstractsThis video introduces a robotic footstool--the mechanical ottoman--which explores how non-humanlike robots can coordinate joint action. It approaches seated people and offers to support their feet, then attempts to take leave during the interaction.
Mechanical Ottoman: How Robotic Furniture Offers and Withdraws Support
HRI '15: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionThis paper describes our approach to designing, developing behaviors for, and exploring the use of, a robotic footstool, which we named the mechanical ottoman. By approaching unsuspecting participants and attempting to get them to place their feet on ...
