Title: Using Human-Robot Interactions to Study Human-Human Social Behavior
Abstract: Robots offer a unique tool in the study of human social behavior because they offer a completely controllable, and infinitely repeatable, stimulus that respond precisely to only select social cues and without observer bias. In this talk, I'll present some results from human-robot interactions on topics that include cheating and compliance, social learning and instruction, and animacy and agency. Finally, I'll offer some preliminary data on how these robots can be used as therapeutic and diagnostic tools for social deficits such as autism spectrum disorder. (Background Paper)
