The video describes the novel concept of “culturally competent robotics”, which is the main focus of the project CARESSES (Culturally-Aware Robots and Environmental Sensor Systems for Elderly Support). CARESSES a multidisciplinary project whose goal is to design the first socially assistive robots that can adapt to the culture of the older people they are taking care of. Socially assistive robots are required to help the users in many ways including reminding them to take their medication, encouraging them to keep active, helping them keep in touch with family and friends. The video describes a new generation of robots that will perform their actions with attention to the older person's customs, cultural practices and individual preferences.

The fact that we can see each other face to face in the distance has become so natural with the appearance of video calls. However, the desire to touch each other in the distance is far from being resolved. We developed a pair of devices that can transmit touch sense through the shoulder such as tapping, caressing, and pressing. The touch sensors on a telepresence robot transmit touch feedback to a remote user wearing a haptic vest via wireless communication.

Worldwide, manufacturers are reimagining the future of their workforce and its connection to technology. Rather than replacing humans, Industry 5.0 explores how humans and robots can best complement one another's unique strengths. However, realizing this vision requires an in-depth understanding of how workers view the positive and negative attributes of their jobs, and the place of robots within it. In this paper, we explore the relationship between work attributes and automation goals by engaging in field research at a manufacturing plant. We conducted 50 face-to-face interviews with assembly-line workers $(mathrm{n}=50)$, which we analyzed using discourse analysis and social constructivist methods. We found that the work attributes deemed most positive by participants include social interaction, movement and exercise, (human) autonomy, problem solving, task variety, and building with their hands. The main negative work attributes included health and safety issues, feeling rushed, and repetitive work. We identified several ways robots could help reduce negative work attributes and enhance positive ones, such as reducing work interruptions and cultivating physical and psychological well-being. Based on our findings, we created a set of integration considerations for organizations planning to deploy robotics technology, and discuss how the manufacturing and HRI communities can explore these ideas in the future.

To be accepted in our everyday life and to be valuable interaction partners, robots should be able to display emotional and empathic behaviors. That is why there has been a great focus on developing empathy in robots in recent years. However, there is no consensus on how to measure how much a robot is considered to be empathic. In this context, we decided to construct a questionnaire which specifically measures the perception of a robot's empathy in human-robot interaction (HRI). Therefore we conducted pretests to generate items. These were validated by experts and will be further validated in an experimental setting.

Previous research in moral psychology and human-robot interaction has shown that technology shapes human morality, and research in human-robot interaction has shown that humans naturally perceive robots as moral agents. Accordingly, we propose that language-capable autonomous robots are uniquely positioned among technologies to significantly impact human morality. We therefore argue that it is imperative that language-capable robots behave according to human moral norms and communicate in such a way that their intention to adhere to those norms is clear. Unfortunately, the design of current natural language oriented robot architectures enables certain architectural components to circumvent or preempt those architectures' moral reasoning capabilities. In this paper, we show how this may occur, using clarification request generation in current dialog systems as a motivating example. Furthermore, we present experimental evidence that the types of behavior exhibited by current approaches to clarification request generation can cause robots to (1) miscommunicate their moral intentions and (2) weaken humans' perceptions of moral norms within the current context. This work strengthens previous preliminary findings, and does so within an experimental paradigm that provides increased external and ecological validity over earlier approaches.

Socially assistive robots (SARs) have the potential to improve working conditions of care workers, empower vulnerable people to retain independence, and even provide social companionship. Through a series of focus groups, this study explores how older adults and professional care workers in a Continued Care Retirement Community (CCRC) perceived a bespoke SAR platform known as Stevie. Using a mixed-method approach, it emerged that both care staff and residents developed a strong fondness for the robot, perceived it to be useful, and could envision a range of useful applications.

The gradual transition towards the Kazakh language in the Republic of Kazakhstan raises the emergence of applying new technologies for learning the language. Considering the fact that the Kazakh language has dialectal forms, it is important to investigate how these language features would affect the interaction with the synthesized speech of a robot or a computer program. This paper presents a preliminary study exploring the effect of dialectal language on the human-robot interaction in an education-oriented environment. Participants were involved in the interaction with two different robots with pre-programmed language dialectal patterns - South and non-South, to learn new vocabulary. Findings show that there is a low significance in correlation, however, it is suggested that a small sample size led to the obtained results.

This research used a questionnaire survey to examine the positive and negative opinions of Japanese university students about living with robots. The results show that the effect of educational background on the hope of living with a robot is statistically significant, that gender affects negative attitudes toward the social influence of robots, and that negative correlation between the hope of living with a robot and negative attitudes toward emotional interaction with robots is statistically significant. An exploratory qualitative classification reveals that most Japanese undergraduates hold the negative opinion that they have no need to live with robots because they are not alone.

Over the summer of 2018, CHARISMA Robotics Laboratory at Oregon State University invited a Theater Artist to collaborate on two interdisciplinary robot theater productions using ChairBots and human performers. Both productions shared in a three-week development period, the same development team and performing robots, and culminated in live performances. This paper acts as a companion to the video documentation of these productions, addressing the novelty and contributions, both technical and creative, of dancing with robot furniture.
