    A Wizard-of-Oz Setup to Assess Pedestrian Behavior and Teach Delivery Robots on Sidewalk Encounters
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Pfleging, Bastian; Seyffer, Norman; Beek, Zina; Zug, Sebastian
    With the spreading of small mobile robots like last-mile delivery robots a new type of vehicles is expected to share sidewalks, foot and cycle paths with vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists. In order to ensure a safe co-existence of all instances that share these paths, a central point is to assess to what extent and how such robots should interact with these users. To understand this novel space for human-robot interaction, we are currently investigating where interaction is expected to happen and how people react to the appearance of such robots. In this paper, we present our approach of using a Wizard-of-Oz robot setup with which we aim to assess pedestrian behavior and at the same time collect sensor data to train future robots. We discuss prior work on mobile robots and external interfaces (eHMIs) for other road users, present our current setup, and outline future research activities.

    Robots for Public and Social Spaces - Design for Intent Communication, Collaboration and Acceptance
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Häkkilä, Jonna; Kassem, Khaled; Kirjavainen, Emma; Kraus, Johannes; Michahelles, Florian; Müller, Heiko; Pfleging, Bastian; Seyffer, Norman; Trost, Kai Erik
    Intent communication is crucial for human-robot interactions, allowing robots to understand and respond to human intentions and enabling humans to comprehend potentially autonomous robots’ intentions. Social robots have become increasingly popular in various fields, from healthcare to education, due to their ability to interact with humans naturally and intuitively. Enabling seamless communication between robots and humans is a key challenge in developing effective social robots. This workshop explores the intersection of intent communication and user experience in social robotics, with a focus on human-centered human-robot interaction.The workshop aims to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss recent advances in intent communication and user experience design in social robotics. Participants can present their research, share experiences, and engage in interactive discussions with other attendees. The workshop provides a forum for collaboration and knowledge exchange to advance the state-of-the-art in social robotics and HRI. This is the second iteration of the RoboX workshop at MuC.
