Sharing Spaces, Sharing Lives - The Impact of Robot Mobility on User Perception of a Home Companion Robot

چکیده
This paper examines the role of spatial behaviours in building human-robot relationships. A group of 8 participants, involved in a long-term HRI study, interacted with an artificial agent using different embodiments over a period of one and a half months. The robot embodiments had similar interactional and expressive capabilities, but only one embodiment was capable of moving. Participants reported feeling closer to the robot embodiment capable of physical movement and rated it as more likable. Results suggest that while expressive and communicative abilities may be important in terms of building affinity and rapport with human interactants, the importance of physical interactions when negotiating shared physical space in real time should not be underestimated.

This paper aims to develop a writing robot by recognizing the speech signal from the user. The robot arm constructed mainly for the disabled people who can’t perform writing on their own. Here, dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to recognize the speech signal from the user. The action performed by the robot arm in the environment is done by reducing the redundancy which frequently fac...
متن کاملSharing Spaces with Robots in a Home Scenario - Anthropomorphic Attributions and their Effect on Proxemic Expectations and Evaluations in a Live HRI Trial
This paper presents results from an HRI study that involved participants interacting with robots of different appearances. The particular focus of this paper is how anthropomorphic attributions impacted the proxemic expectations of the robots’ behaviour as well as the postexperimental evaluations of the robot. The results suggest that a higher degree of anthropomorphic attribution is linked to ...
متن کاملCan I trust you?: sharing information with artificial companions
This paper discusses an experiment to investigate issues of trust and confidentiality when sharing information with a robot companion in an office context. An online questionnaire was used to collect opinions about information sharing with a robot companion and preferences for collection and treatment of information. In a subsequent live interaction study, subjects role-played new members of an...
متن کاملAdaptive Voltage-based Control of Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
