Just started #chi2021 with Chieko Asakawa's inspiring keynote: real world visual #accessibility challenges & a voice-controlled robot guide suitcase. Raising really interesting questions around when to use voice vs. touch for interaction in crowded spaces!

My latest paper with @frankiefong documented that children are more likely to conform to the suboptimal tool preferences of a human than a robot, and that normative language doesn’t appear to encourage higher rates of imitation in this context. Summary to follow ⬇️

🗨️ Question to the community:
#HRI research is mainly based on lab / field experiments. However, due to the pandemic, such experiments are almost impossible to conduct right now. ☹️🤖

#Psyboticists, how are you adjusting to not being able to conduct lab experiments? Any advice?

[Dr. Katie Riddoch @katie_riddoch]

After my PhD (Jan 2022) I'm looking to join an organisation near Lancashire (UK) and grow with them long-term. My interests: #ResearchJobs #InnovativeTech #AppliedPsychology #Mentoring #UX and #MixedMethods. Do reach out if you have any advice/contacts! 🤓 RTs appreciated ⭐️

New paper on social robots and mind perception.
Ppl want robots who are good at math to do math (obvi) but: they want robots who are *bad* at math to do emotional intelligence tasks.
Ppl extend social cog stereotypes to AI, implicitly typecasting it.

Our research on how robots can encourage risk-taking behaviour made it to the Wall Street Journal. Robots can encourage you to take more risk than you normally would.

Drilling the rich interdisciplinary vein between social psychology and robotics.
