With the development of novel RGB-D visual sensors, data association has been a basic problem in 3D Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM). To solve the problem, a VSLAM algorithm based on Multiple Iterative Closest Point (MICP) is presented. By using both RGB and depth information obtained from RGB-D camera, 3D models of indoor environment can be reconstructed, which provide extensive knowledge for mobile robots to accomplish tasks such as VSLAM and Human-Robot Interaction. Due to the limited views of RGB-D camera, additional information about the camera pose is needed. In this paper, the motion of the RGB-D camera is estimated by a motion capture system after a calibration process. Based on the estimated pose, the MICP algorithm is used to improve the alignment. A Kinect mobile robot which is running Robot Operating System and the motion capture system has been used for experiments. Experiment results show that not only the proposed VSLAM algorithm achieved good accuracy and reliability, but also the 3D map can be generated in real time.

This booklet is a collection of the position statements accepted for the HRI’20 conference workshop “Social Cognition for HRI: Exploring the relationship between mindreading and social attunement in human-robot interaction” (Wykowska, Perez-Osorio & Kopp, 2020). Unfortunately, due to the rapid unfolding of the novel coronavirus at the beginning of the present year, the conference and consequently our workshop, were canceled. On the light of these events, we decided to put together the positions statements accepted for the workshop. The contributions collected in these pages highlight the role of attribution of mental states to artificial agents in human-robot interaction, and precisely the quality and presence of social attunement mechanisms that are known to make human interaction smooth, efficient, and robust. These papers also accentuate the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to advance the understanding of the factors and the consequences of social interactions with artificial agents.

Studying trust within human-robot interaction is of great importance given the social relevance of robotic agents in a variety of contexts. We investigated the acquisition, loss and restoration of trust when preschool and school-age children played with either a human or a humanoid robot in-vivo. The relationship between trust and the quality of attachment relationships, Theory of Mind, and executive function skills was also investigated. No differences were found in children’s trust in the play-partner as a function of agency (human or robot). Nevertheless, 3-years-olds showed a trend toward trusting the human more than the robot, while 7-years-olds displayed the reverse behavioral pattern, thus highlighting the developing interplay between affective and cognitive correlates of trust.
