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...

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...

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...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Short, E., Swift-Spong, K., Greczek, J., Ramachandran, A., Litoiu, A., Grigore, E. C., Feil-Seifer, D., Shuster, S., Lee, J. J., Huang, S., Levonisova, S., Litz, S., Li, J., Ragusa, G., Spruijt-Metz, D., Mataric, M., & Scassellati, B. (2014, August). How to train your DragonBot: Socially assistive robots for teaching children about nutrition through play. Presented at The 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, Edinburgh, UK

This paper describes an extended (6-session) interaction between an ethnically and geographically diverse group of 26 first-grade children and the DragonBot robot in the context of learning about healthy food choices. We find that children demonstrat... Read More about How to train your DragonBot: Socially assistive robots for teaching children about nutrition through play.

The nature of the bots: How people respond to robots, virtual agents and humans as multimodal stimuli (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J. (2013, December). The nature of the bots: How people respond to robots, virtual agents and humans as multimodal stimuli. Presented at ICMI '13: 2013 International Conference on Multimodal Interaction, Sydney, Australia

This research agenda aims to understand how people treat robots along two dialectics. In the mechanical-living dialectic, fabricated entities are assessed against their organic counterparts to see if people respond differently to robots versus other...

Communication of emotion in social robots through simple head and arm movements (2010)
Journal Article
Li, J., & Chignell, M. (2011). Communication of emotion in social robots through simple head and arm movements. International Journal of Social Robotics, 3, 125-142. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-010-0071-x

Understanding how people perceive robot gestures will aid the design of robots capable of social interaction with humans. We examined the generation and perception of a restricted form of gesture in a robot capable of simple head and arm movement, re...

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 10, Article 40. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6947-10-40

Background Osteoporosis affects over 200 million people worldwide, and represents a significant cost burden. Although guidelines are available for best practice in osteoporosis, evidence indicates that patients are not receiving appropriate diagnost...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Chignell, M., Mizobuchi, S., & Yasumura, M. (2009, July). Emotions and messages in simple robot gestures. Presented at International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, San Diego, USA

Understanding how people interpret robot gestures will aid design of effective social robots. We examine the generation and interpretation of gestures in a simple social robot capable of head and arm movement using two studies. In the first study, fo...
