A Károlyi Mihály-levelezés kutatása és publikálásának befejezése = The Research for the Publication of Mihály Károlyi's Correspondence

A kutatás célja Károlyi Mihály levelezése VI. kötetének (1949-1955) elmaradt kiadása, illetve a levelezés IV. kötete (1930. július-1944) anyagának összeállítása, megszerkesztése és kiadása. Ezzel az I-VI kötetből (1905-1955 évkörök) álló sorozat 1978-ban megkezdett kiadása befejeződik, mintegy 440 A/5 ív terjedelemben. A VI. kötet kiadása mintegy másfél év csúszással (kiadó késése miatt) 188 elején megtörtént. A IV. kötet mintegy 70 ívnyi anyagának összegyűjtése és naygrészt begépelése is megtörtént. A szerkesztési, jegyzetelési, fordítási munkák, apparátus készítése azonban 2009-re, esetleg 2010 elejére maradnak, így a kiadásra csak 2010-ben kerül sor. | The editor's task was to complete editing/publishing the VIth vol. of the Correspondence of Michael Károlyi (1949-1955), and collecting, editing and publishing the IVth vol. (July 1930-1944) Thus comes to end the publishing of this series, containing approx. 440 A/5 sheets (nearly 5000 pages). The VIth vol. was printed in early 2008 that is detained by the publisher for one and a half year. Collecting of the IVth vol.-s letters is finished (approx. 70 A/5 sheets), also for most part the typing, while the editing, translating, index-making remains for 2009, possibly first months of 2010; following it will be published in 2010

Emotion Attribution to a Non-Humanoid Robot in Different Social Situations

In the last few years there was an increasing interest in building companion robots that interact in a socially acceptable way with humans. In order to interact in a meaningful way a robot has to convey intentionality and emotions of some sort in order to increase believability. We suggest that human-robot interaction should be considered as a specific form of inter-specific interaction and that human–animal interaction can provide a useful biological model for designing social robots. Dogs can provide a promising biological model since during the domestication process dogs were able to adapt to the human environment and to participate in complex social interactions. In this observational study we propose to design emotionally expressive behaviour of robots using the behaviour of dogs as inspiration and to test these dog-inspired robots with humans in inter-specific context. In two experiments (wizard-of-oz scenarios) we examined humans' ability to recognize two basic and a secondary emotion expressed by a robot. In Experiment 1 we provided our companion robot with two kinds of emotional behaviour (“happiness” and “fear”), and studied whether people attribute the appropriate emotion to the robot, and interact with it accordingly. In Experiment 2 we investigated whether participants tend to attribute guilty behaviour to a robot in a relevant context by examining whether relying on the robot's greeting behaviour human participants can detect if the robot transgressed a predetermined rule. Results of Experiment 1 showed that people readily attribute emotions to a social robot and interact with it in accordance with the expressed emotional behaviour. Results of Experiment 2 showed that people are able to recognize if the robot transgressed on the basis of its greeting behaviour. In summary, our findings showed that dog-inspired behaviour is a suitable medium for making people attribute emotional states to a non-humanoid robot
