Autonomous Vehicles – The Future Of Transportation [Podcast] (2019)
Alternative Title
Human Robot Interaction PodcastAbstract
Autonomous vehicles are one of the most interesting topics in human-robot interaction right now. While they are not humanoid in shape, they are one of the biggest, deadliest and most promising robots available to the general public. They have the potential to dramatically change how we get from point a to b and what infrastructure we need. But they also raises many ethical issues besides a long list of technical challenges.
Driving a car is inherently dangerous once you drive at a practical speed. Your autonomous vehicle needs to be able to deal with all sorts of traffic situations, weather conditions and even unpredictable human operators. This is an enormous challenge.
I talked with Professor Robert Sparrow from the Monarch University, Professor Tracy Hresko Pearl and Professor Alan R. Wagner about the future of transportation with autonomous vehicles. The core question is: when will it become illegal for humans to drive cars?

The interactive effects of robot anthropomorphism and robot ability on perceived threat and support for robotics research
Yogeeswaran K; Złotowski J; Livingstone M; Bartneck, Christoph; Sumioka H; Ishiguro H (Journal of Human-Robot Interaction, 2016)The present research examines how a robot’s physical anthropomorphism interacts with perceived ability of robots to impact the level of realistic and identity threat that people perceive from robots and how it affects ... -
Reciprocity in Human-Robot Interaction: A Quantitative Approach Through the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Ultimatum Game
Sandoval, E. B.; Brandstetter, J.; Obaid, M.; Bartneck, Christoph (SPRINGER, 2016)Reciprocity is an important factor in human–human interaction, so it can be expected that it should also play a major role in human–robot interaction (HRI). Participants in our study played the Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma ...
