Sharan, N.N (author), Toet, A. (author), Mioch, T. (author), Niamut, O. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Effective interpersonal communication is important to maintain relationships and build trust, empathy, and confidence. In this digital age, communication has become mediated, which filters out many of the social cues that are essential to facilitate interpersonal communication. This paper investigates the extent to which social cues influence...conference paper 2022

Mioch, T. (author), Peeters, M.M.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Human-robot teams for disaster response need to dynamically adapt their task allocation and coordination to the momentary context, based on adequate trust stances and taking account of the relevant values and norms (such as safety, health, and privacy). This paper presents a Work Agreement framework that supports this capability. The research...bookPart 2018
