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
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
Understanding, perceiving and interacting
In the emerging field of personal robotics, the path to widespread adoption faces significant challenges. While personal robots offer immense potential for assisting individuals in both domestic and public environments, their success depends on effective human-robot interaction (HRI). Central to this interaction is the need for personalised communication styles tailored to individual user preferences and … Continue reading Understanding, perceiving and interacting
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?
Unlocking the future of human-robot collaboration: understanding human intentions
In recent years, research in robotics has made remarkable strides, capturing our imaginations with the promise of machines working alongside humans to enhance our daily lives. One of the key advancements that is driving this innovation is Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), a field dedicated to improving the way robots assist us in various tasks. But what's … Continue reading Unlocking the future of human-robot collaboration: understanding human intentions
Transparency and Robots.
In our everyday life, we use simple tools to make our life easier, safer, or more independent. One example of a simple tool is the screwdriver. It is designed to pursue a specific goal, to turn screws, it cannot accomplish that goal without us, and it is unlikely to surprise us. Robots, on the contrary, … Continue reading Transparency and Robots.
Intelligence in navigation …
In the past few decades, robots have become more accessible to industries and research. However, we are still far from what the sci-fi movies have presented many years ago: the multi-purpose robot-servants that are able to take over with ease any chore in the house. Why can’t we have that kind of robots yet? Well, … Continue reading Intelligence in navigation …
