Vocal practices for achieving embodied coordination
From introduction: Sound is an important interaction modality and a large part of human interaction happens in the aural domain. While research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has long explored spoken language for interacting with humans, sound as a broader—and, to a significant degree, non-lexical (i.e., without words)—medium has been given comparably less attention. Yet, the …

At the workshop Sound for Robots, held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2022), Pelikan et al. presented “Designing Minimal Sounds for Maximum Interaction.” Authors: Hannah Pelikan, Jenny Fu, Yoyo Tsung-Yu Hou, Asher Lipman, and Malte Jung Abstract: While recent work has started to explore how to make robots …
At the online Digital Meeting for Conversation Analysis, Oct. 31st-Nov. 4th 2022, Pelikan presented on "How an autonomous shuttle bus could sound in interaction". Abstract: Sound, often in the form of honks, is an important interaction device for managing accountability on the road (Deppermann et al., 2018; Laurier et al., 2020). Autonomous shuttle buses are …

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 …
