Observer Perception of Dominance and Mirroring Behavior in Human-Robot Relationships (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Ju, W., & Nass, C. (2015, March). Observer Perception of Dominance and Mirroring Behavior in Human-Robot Relationships. Presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Portland, USA

How people view relationships between humans and robots is an important consideration for the design and acceptance of social robots. Two studies investigated the effect of relational behavior in a human-robot dyad. In Study 1, participants watched v...

Ghost driver: A platform for investigating interactions between pedestrians and driverless vehicles (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rothenbücher, D., Li, J., Sirkin, D. M., Mok, B. K. J., & Ju, W. G. (2015, September). Ghost driver: A platform for investigating interactions between pedestrians and driverless vehicles. Presented at AutomotiveUI '15, Nottingham, UK

How will pedestrians and cyclists interact with self-driving cars when there is no human driver? To find answers to this question we need a secure experimental design in which pedestrians can interact with a car that appears to drive on its own. In G...

"Don't make me turn this seat around!": driver and passenger activities and positions in autonomous cars (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ive, H. P., Sirkin, D. M., Miller, D., Li, J., & Ju, W. G. (2015, September). "Don't make me turn this seat around!": driver and passenger activities and positions in autonomous cars. Poster presented at International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Nottingham

From the earliest concepts of autonomous cars, a prototypical model has emerged in which occupants freely orient themselves to engage in non-driving activities. This new environment prompts questions about how car occupants will actually sit, what ac...

Social robots and virtual agents as lecturers for video instruction (2015)
Journal Article
Li, J., Kizilcec, R., Bailenson, J., & Ju, W. (2016). Social robots and virtual agents as lecturers for video instruction. Computers in Human Behavior, 55, 1222-1230. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2015.04.005

One emerging convention in video lectures is to show presentation slides with an inset video of the instructor’s head. Substituting a robot or a digital agent for the video of the instructor could radically decrease production time and cost; thus, th...

Robots + agents for MOOCs: What if scott klemmer were a robot? (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., & Ju, W. G. (2015, March). Robots + agents for MOOCs: What if scott klemmer were a robot?. Presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Portland, Oregon

Online course lectures often consist of presentation slides with an inset "talking-head" video of the instructor. As the time and financial costs associated with producing these lectures are often high, employing a robot or a digital agent in lieu of...

Robot in Charge: A Relational Study Investigating Human-Robot Dyads with Differences in Interpersonal Dominance (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Ju, W. G., & Nass, C. I. (2015, March). Robot in Charge: A Relational Study Investigating Human-Robot Dyads with Differences in Interpersonal Dominance. Presented at ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Portland, Oregon

We present a controlled experiment exploring how people respond to video stimuli that depict relationships between humans and robots. How participants observed differences in interpersonal dominance in a human-robot pair was investigated using a "rel...

The benefit of being physically present: A survey of experimental works comparing copresent robots, telepresent robots and virtual agents (2015)
Journal Article
Li, J. (2015). The benefit of being physically present: A survey of experimental works comparing copresent robots, telepresent robots and virtual agents. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 77, 23-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2015.01.001

The effects of physical embodiment and physical presence were explored through a survey of 33 experimental works comparing how people interacted with physical robots and virtual agents. A qualitative assessment of the direction of quantitative effect...
