“What happens when a robot favors someone?: How a tour guide robot uses gaze behavior to address multiple persons while storytelling about art” was my master research thesis done for the University of Twente. The research began on May 2012 and culminated in January 2013. The research project was intended to be part of a larger research project called FROG short for The Fun Robotic Outdoor Guide.
FROG is a collaborative project by a consortium of private companies and universities in Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The University of Twente, the University of Amsterdam, the Imperial College of London, the University Pablo de Olavide, YDreams and IDMind have come together to create an interactive robot for public spaces.
This research is featured as part of the proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2013).
