“…In these exploratory interviews, we also encouraged the interviewers to explore terminology around using the term robot in conversations, as previous research suggests that people's perceptions of robots can draw on what is perpetuated by the media and entertainment industry [6,48,56]. They started the conversations using the term latest invention, i.e., a term other than robot, to see if it would allow more abstraction, and introduced the term robot at a later time if that suited the conversation flow.…”

The topic of trust has attracted increasing interest within HRI research, and is particularly relevant in the context of social robots and their assistance of older people at home. To make this abstract concept of trust more tangible for developers of robotic technologies and to connect it with older people’s living spaces and their daily practices, we propose a light-weight method drawing on elicitation cards to be used at early stages of participatory design. The cards were designed to serve as a guide for qualitative interviews at ideation phases. This was accomplished by using the cards connected to the living spaces of the participants, their daily practices, and ‘provocative’ questions to structure conversations. We developed the method with 10 inexperienced interviewers who conducted 10 qualitative interviews on the topic of trust without cards, and who tested the cards with 10 older adults. Our findings indicate that the method served as a powerful facilitator of conversations around the topic of trust and enabled interviewers to engage with everyday practices of older adults; it also facilitated a more active role for older adults during the conversations. As indicators of findings that can come from the cards, salient trust-related themes that emerged from the analysis of card usage were the desire for control, companionship, privacy, understandability, and location-specific requirements with regards to trust.

“…Misi yang harus diselesaikan oleh tipe robot ini sangat banyak, mulai dari line follower, tracker, bahkan robot yang dirancang jgusus untuk memasukan bola, mengumpulkan dan memindahkan barang semua menggunakan tipe robot jenis ini [5], [6]. Oleh karena itu penelitian tentang robot jenis ini sangat banyak [7], dan dalam penelitian ini akan dibuat jenis robot beroda, yang dapat dikendalikan dari jarak jauh (remote control), namun dalam penelitian ini yang digunakan sebagai media komunikasi bukanlah antenna atau, infra red melainkan modul, Bluetooth yang ada pada mobile phone dengan sistem operasi Androin. Dalam penelitian ini selain dibutuhkan modul Bluetooth pada robot beroda, pada smartphone yang digunakan untuk kendali jarak jauh juga harus dilengkapi dengan aplikasi Arduino Bluetooth RC Car.…”

Robot merupakan salah satu bidang sedang banyak mendapatkan perhatian, tidak hanya di Indonesia tapi juga di dunia. Di Indonesia sendiri terdapat kontes robot yang sangat bergengsi dan diikuti oleh hampir seluruh mahasiswa di Indonesia dengan keahlian rekayasa robot dalam berbagai tipe. Kontes Robot ini sangat bergengsi bahkan pemenang dari Kontes Robot ini akan menjadi kandidat untuk mengikuti kontes Robot Internasional. Salah satu tipe robot yang dilombakan dalam KRI adalah robot beroda, dimana robot ini merupakan cikal bakal hampir seluruh robot yang ada di dunia. Beberapa robot dirancang otomatis untuk mampu mengenali jalurnya sendiri, namun juga ada beberapa robot yang dibuat kendali otomatis jarak jauh menggunakan berbagai metode. Dalam penelitian ini akan dirancang sebuah Robot beroda dengan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno, dilengkapi dengan komponen Bluetooth HC-05 sebagai media komunikasi antara robot dengan sistem Android pada Smartphone. Selain harus ada Modul Bluetooth pada robot beroda, juga dibutuhkan aplikasi Arduino Bluetooth RC car pada Smartphone yang digunakan. Hasil dari penelitian ini modul Bluetooth bekerja dengan baik, sehingga komunikasi antara Robot dengan Android dapat dilakukan, dan kendali Robot juga menjadi mudah melalui sistem android pada Smartphone.

“…O'Neill-Brown's framework [38] was predicated on an underlying assumption that culture causally influenced technology. In contrast, subsequent work has argued for a bidirectional and reciprocal interplay between culture and technology [42][43][44]. Šabanović's [45] theoretical piece on the positioning of robots in society further echoed this position, suggesting that social progress is made by society and technology mutually shaping one another.…”

Robotic agents designed to assist people across a variety of social and service settings are becoming increasingly prevalent across the world. Here we synthesise two decades of empirical evidence from human–robot interaction (HRI) research to focus on cultural influences on expectations towards and responses to social robots, as well as the utility of robots displaying culturally specific social cues for improving human engagement. Findings suggest complex and intricate relationships between culture and human cognition in the context of HRI. The studies reviewed here transcend the often-studied and prototypical east–west dichotomy of cultures, and explore how people’s perceptions of robots are informed by their national culture as well as their experiences with robots. Many of the findings presented in this review raise intriguing questions concerning future directions for robotics designers and cultural psychologists, in terms of conceptualising and delivering culturally sensitive robots. We point out that such development is currently limited by heterogenous methods and low statistical power, which contribute to a concerning lack of generalisability. We also propose several avenues through which future work may begin to address these shortcomings. In sum, we highlight the critical role of culture in mediating efforts to develop robots aligned with human users’ cultural backgrounds, and argue for further research into the role of culturally-informed robotic development in facilitating human–robot interaction.
