Vocal practices for achieving embodied coordination
Keevallik presented a workshop at the ZOSMIA School on multimodal interaction analysis, Nov. 12, 2020. Abstract: I would like to address the question of how the body is involved in sensemaking between participants, interchangeably, and synchronously with grammar, lexis, and vocalizations. By departing from concrete instances of embodied interaction, we can a) document the achievement …

Pelikan is presenting a paper at HRI 2021 on how autonomous buses must coordinate with pedestrians and other everyday road users in the social world of traffic. Abstract: Why Autonomous Driving Is So Hard: The Social Dimension of Traffic. Smooth traffic presupposes fine coordination between different actors, such as pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers. When …

Pelikan, Robinson, Keevallik, Velonaki, Broth, and Brown are organizing a workshop on Sound in human-robot interaction at HRI 2021. https://doi.org/10.1145/3434074.3444871 Abstract: Robot sound spans a wide continuum, from subtle motor hums, through music, bleeps and bloops, to human-inspired vocalizations, and can be an important means of communication for robotic agents. This first workshop on sound …

Pelikan presented a workshop (peer reviewed) at the first international workshop on Designerly HRI Knowledge held in conjunction with the 29th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2020), entitled: Intermediate-Level Knowledge: A Conversation Analysis Perspective.
Kontogiorgos and Pelikan presented at the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI ’20 Companion), March 23–26, Cambridge, United Kingdom. Their paper was entitled 'Towards Adaptive and Least-Collaborative-Effort Social Robots'. https://doi.org/10.1145/3371382.3378249 Abstract: In the future, assistive social robots will collaborate with humans in a variety of settings. Robots will not only follow human orders but will …
Löfgren presented at the European Conference on Conversation Analysis, June 30, 2020: Song versus talk during depictions in proposal sequences at opera rehearsals - Intersubjectivity and vocal modality. Abstract The aim of the present paper is to explore singing as a resource in singer proposals duringscenic opera rehearsals. It will be shown how singing within …

Hofstetter will be presenting at Linguistweets 2020, December 5th, on "Interactionally situating the power scream: Bodily motivated vocalizations." Abstract: Everyday interaction is filled with sounds that are connected to bodily events: breathing, sniffing (Hoey, 2020), crying (Hepburn, 2004), grunting, and so on. Most linguistic theories, however, exclude the body from consideration, arguing its contributions are …
