Selected publications

I have published on a rather wide range of topics, and as such you might -just like me sometimes- struggle to see the forest from the trees. Here are some publications that are dear to me, with a little word on why so.

  • Vollmer, A. L., Read, R., Trippas, D., & Belpaeme, T. (2018). Children conform, adults resist: A robot group induced peer pressure on normative social conformity. Science Robotics, 3(21), eaat7111.
    A recent paper in which we studied peer pressure by robots on people. We used the classic Asch paradigm, in this a group of people together complete a visual test. However, all people in the room are in on the test, except one person, the subject. Once in a while, the group gives a wrong answer, will the subject follow the group and also give a wrong answer, or will he resist? In this study we replaced the group of people by a (small) group of robots. We found that adults don’t follow the robots’ wrong answers, but children aged 7 to 9 do. We concluded that children experience peer pressure from robots to socially conform.
  • Steels, L. and Belpaeme, T. (2005)  Coordinating Perceptually Grounded Categories through Language. A Case Study for Colour. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 28(4):469-489.
    My second most cited article, in which we show how colour categories are learnt from interacting with others. This provides an alternative to the view that colour categories are innate. It’s a lovely win for computational modeling: we used agent-based modelling to simulate iteratively  interacting individuals, and show how repeated negotiating about colour categories leaves a population with a shared language and shared concepts.

(2012) Multimodal Child-Robot Interaction: Building Social Bonds. Journal of Human-Robot Interaction, 1(2), 33-53.
    An ambitious position paper on how we can use social humanoid robots to build social bonds with children, and how this can be used to support children through a challenging time in hospital, with a specific focus on children diagnosed with diabetes. This paper is one of the first discussing the potential of social robots for medical care. The paper provides an overview of the work planned in the ALIZ-E project.
  • Morse, A., F., Benitez, V. L., Belpaeme, T., Cangelosi, A., and Smith, L. B. (2015). Posture Affects How Robots and Infants Map Words to Objects. PloS one, 10(3), e0116012.
    In this paper we write about a model of word-meaning acquisition in young children in which body posture is important: changes in body posture during learning disrupt the association between words and their meaning. The paper is unique as it showed how a computational model implemented on a humanoid robot helped us form and confirm a theory on language acquisition in humans.
