Abstract
This late breaking report introduces an approach to measure yawn-
ing contagion between robots and humans. Understanding to what
extent yawning can be contagious between robots and humans will
help to generate more believable interaction behaviors for social
robots and contribute to a better understanding of cognitive phe-
nomena like empathy and their application in HRI. We will give
an overview of an experiment which used an EMYS robot for the
presentation of the yawning stimulus. We will present the results
of our preliminary analysis of the collected data.
