    Article Modelling User Preference for Embodied Artificial Intelligence and Appearance in Realistic Humanoid Robots Carl Strathearn 1,* and Minhua Ma 2,* 1 School of Computing and Digital Technologies, Staffordshire University, Staffordshire ST4 2DE, UK 2 Falmouth University, Penryn Campus, Penryn TR10 9FE, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (M.M.) Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 29 July 2020; Published: 31 July 2020 Abstract: Realistic humanoid robots (RHRs) with embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) have numerous applications in society as the human face is the most natural interface for communication and the human body the most effective form for traversing the manmade areas of the planet. Thus, developing RHRs with high degrees of human-likeness provides a life-like vessel for humans to physically and naturally interact with technology in a manner insurmountable to any other form of non-biological human emulation. This study outlines a human–robot interaction (HRI) experiment employing two automated RHRs with a contrasting appearance and personality. The selective sample group employed in this study is composed of 20 individuals, categorised by age and gender for a diverse statistical analysis. Galvanic skin response, facial expression analysis, and AI analytics permitted cross-analysis of biometric and AI data with participant testimonies to reify the results. This study concludes that younger test subjects preferred HRI with a younger-looking RHR and the more senior age group with an older looking RHR. Moreover, the female test group preferred HRI with an RHR with a younger appearance and male subjects with an older looking RHR.

  • Anthropomorphic Machines: Alien Sensation and Experience in Nonhumans Created to Be Like Us
    Anthropomorphic machines: alien sensation and experience in nonhumans created to be like us by Tessa Gwendoline Leach ORCID 0000-0002-0560-7667 Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) June 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree i Abstract This thesis is positioned at the intersection between technology studies and the nonhuman turn in the humanities. It argues that typical approaches to the study of technology omit any consideration of the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience. The discussion of metaphysical theory aimed at redressing this omission is grounded in this thesis in the study of specific case studies of anthropomorphic machines, objects which are typically surrounded by human-centric rhetoric. There are four main case studies presented. The first, the Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One, is a sensor designed for use in videogames. The second is the “robot tortoises” (Machina speculatrix) designed by William Grey Walter in the 1940s and 50s. The third is the language- using artificial intelligence program SHRDLU developed by Terry Winograd between 1968 and 1972. The fourth is the concept of the gynoid (female humanoid robot) and particularly the gynoid sexbot. Each of these case studies has previously been analysed in Science and Technology Studies, Cultural Studies or Engineering, and this thesis builds on this past work by giving primacy and due consideration to the alien in these anthropomorphic technologies. The thesis aims to decentre the anthropomorphic qualities of machines that are often foregrounded in both engineering and critical texts. This is done both by emphasising the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience, and through anthrodecentric theory and language.

  • Design Principles of a Human Mimetic Humanoid: Humanoid Platform to Study Human Intelligence and Internal Body System Yuki Asano, Kei Okada and Masayuki Inaba
    SCIENCE ROBOTICS | RESEARCH ARTICLE HUMANOIDS Copyright © 2017 The Authors, some Design principles of a human mimetic humanoid: rights reserved; exclusive licensee Humanoid platform to study human intelligence American Association for the Advancement and internal body system of Science. No claim to original U.S. Government Works Yuki Asano,* Kei Okada, Masayuki Inaba Many systems and mechanisms in the human body are not fully understood, such as the principles of muscle control, the sensory nervous system that connects the brain and the body, learning in the brain, and the human walking motion. To address this knowledge deficit, we propose a human mimetic humanoid with an un- precedented degree of anatomical fidelity to the human musculoskeletal structure. The fundamental concept underlying our design is to consider the human mechanism, which contrasts with the conventional engineering approach used in the design of existing humanoids. We believe that the proposed human mimetic humanoid can be used to provide new opportunities in science, for instance, to quantitatively analyze the internal data of Downloaded from a human body in movement. We describe the principles and development of human mimetic humanoids, Kenshiro and Kengoro, and compare their anatomical fidelity with humans in terms of body proportions, skeletal structures, muscle arrangement, and joint performance. To demonstrate the potential of human mimetic humanoids, Kenshiro and Kengoro performed several typical human motions. http://robotics.sciencemag.org/ INTRODUCTION schemes for controlling and modeling those kinds of robots.

  • Robotic Faces: Exploring Dynamical Patterns of Social Interaction
    ROBOTIC FACES: EXPLORING DYNAMICAL PATTERNS OF SOCIAL INTERACTION BETWEEN HUMANS AND ROBOTS Casey Bennett Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Informatics and Computing Indiana University May 2015 ii Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee _________________________________ Selma Sabanovic, Ph.D. _________________________________ Randall Beer, Ph.D. _________________________________ Kay Connelly, Ph.D. _________________________________ David Crandall, Ph.D. April 13, 2015 iii Copyright © 2015 Casey Bennett iv For Dhari, for always being the light in the darkness. v Casey Bennett EXPLORING DYNAMICAL PATTERNS OF SOCIAL INTERACTION BETWEEN HUMANS AND ROBOTS The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: 1) to develop an empirically-based design for an interactive robotic face, and 2) to understand how dynamical aspects of social interaction may be leveraged to design better interactive technologies and/or further our understanding of social cognition. Understanding the role that dynamics plays in social cognition is a challenging problem. This is particularly true in studying cognition via human-robot interaction, which entails both the natural social cognition of the human and the “artificial intelligence” of the robot. Clearly, humans who are interacting with other humans (or even other mammals such as dogs) are cognizant of the social nature of the interaction – their behavior in those cases differs from that when interacting with inanimate objects such as tools. Humans (and many other animals) have some awareness of “social”, some sense of other agents.

  • FUTURE of INTERNET Future of Internet Bit Bang 4 Bit Bang 4
    FUTURE OF INTERNET Future of Internet Bit Bang 4 Bit Bang 4 Bit Bang – Future of Internet: Societal, business, governance and technological aspects was the fourth multidisciplinary postgraduate course for Aalto University doctoral students. A total of 24 students from five Aalto University Schools participated in this two-semester course. The objective of the course was to teach the students teamwork, multidisciplinary collaboration, global perspective, industry and business foresight, and scenario building. In addition to normal class activities the students studied in six person teams factors that influence the future of Internet. Here the students were encouraged to take novel and even radical views. This joint publication contains the final reports of the teamwork assignments. Based on these chapters and other relevant information the course produced four eye opening scenarios on the future of Internet reaching up to 2025. Bit Bang post graduate courses are organised by Aalto University’s Multidisciplinary Institute of Digitalisation and Energy (MIDE). The earlier Bit Bang books are freely available from the MIDE web site.
