Robot Sound-In-Interaction

Sound is an important interaction modality in human interaction, which robot design is only starting to tap into. Drawing on insights about how human sounds support coordination of bodily activities, this work focuses on how robots can communicate through sound in concrete interactions in the wild. My work contributes a focus on how users make sense of sound in everyday interaction, promotes re-consideration of what HRI is designing for and stimulates the development of new HRI design methods.
