Human-Robot Interaction: A Special Double Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780805895537

This special issue is made up of five articles which cover the emerging area of human-robot interaction. The first paper offers a theoretical ecological framework for the design of personal service robots in homes of elderly people. Next, a field study of two robots that visited a children's elementary school in Japan for two weeks, with the purpose of teaching children English, is presented. The third article reports on an opportunistic field study of search and rescue robots used as part of a night rescue training exercise. A different perspective on human-computer interaction for search and rescue robots is discussed in the fourth paper. Finally, an experimental laboratory study is presented that explores how people who have to work closely with professional service robots will perceive and work with them. Taken as a whole, these articles represent some of the first systematic empirical research in human-robot interaction.

Usability in Government Systems: User Experience Design for Citizens and Public Servants
<p>As a usability specialist or interaction designer working with the government, or as a government or contractor professional involved in specifying, procuring, or managing system development, you need this book. Editors Elizabeth Buie and Dianne Murray have brought together over 30 experts to outline practical advice to both usability specialists and government technology professionals and managers.</p> <p>Working with internal and external government systems is a unique and difficult task because of of the sheer magnitude of the audience for external systems (the entire population of a country, and sometimes more), and because of the need to achieve government transparency while protecting citizens' privacy.. Open government, plain language, accessibility, biometrics, service design, internal vs. external systems, and cross-cultural issues, as well as working with the government, are all covered in this book.</p>
