Charting the Growth of Social-Physical HRI (spHRI): A Systematic Review Pipeline Augmented by Small Language Models

arXiv:2606.26382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social-physical human-robot interaction (spHRI) has grown rapidly across robotics, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and haptics. Yet, fragmented terminology and inconsistent methodologies make systematic synthesis difficult. To support scalable review practices, we evaluated the extent to which small language models (SLMs; < 1.5B parameters) can assist with title and abstract screening for a large spHRI systematic review. While no SLMs matched human reviewers' performance, the models operated locally and screened papers orde
