Awareness of human's subjective efficiency in collaborative HAI situation

Abstract

Our study aims to determine how an agent should be designed to perform cooperative work smoothly. From previous experiments, it has been suggested that a human does not acknowledge an agent as a real participant. We considered how we could confirm the above possibility with a cognitive experiment. We designed an experiment with a game format to determine whether subjects would acknowledge an agent's action and existence if the experimental situation presents mutual purpose and timing of entities. The results of our experiment clearly show that work efficiency improves by the agent's behavior. The results of these experiments will influence the model of Human-Agent Interaction in the future.
