“…Rodel et al [34]. Similarly, Nowacka et al investigate human interactions with tangible autonomous interfaces through responses to an autonomous helium balloon that documents activity in interior spaces [29,30]. Blockchains, or more generally distributed ledgers technologies (DLTs), provide an immutable, tamper-proof record of transactions that can facilitate trustless entities in making automatic exchanges that include a monetary value.…”

Technologies such as distributed ledgers and smart contracts are enabling the emergence of new autonomous systems, and providing enhanced systems to track the provenance of goods. A growing body of work in HCI is exploring the novel challenges of these systems, but there has been little attention paid to their impact on everyday activities. This paper presents a study carried out in 3 office environments for a 1-month period, which explored the impact of an autonomous coffee machine on the everyday activity of coffee consumption. The Bitbarista mediates coffee consumption through autonomous processes, presenting provenance data at the time of purchase while attempting to reduce intermediaries in the coffee trade. Through the report of interactions with and around the Bitbarista, we explore its implications for everyday life, and wider social structures and values. We conclude by offering recommendations for the design of community shared autonomous systems. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in interaction design;

“…Prior studies in HCI, HRI and UbiComp have examined whether people can infer intentionality, emotions or be motivated to interact with robots or artefacts through the visualisation of motion [15,17,10,9,2,3]. Instead, in our study, we use the motion of a robot as a visual cue to change how people perceive the robot's performance.…”

Autonomous robotic systems can automatically perform actions on behalf of users in the domestic environment to help people in their daily activities. Such systems aim to reduce users' cognitive and physical workload, and improve wellbeing. While the benefits of these systems are clear, recent studies suggest that users may misconstrue their performance of tasks. We see an opportunity in designing interaction techniques that improve how users perceive the performance of such systems. We report two lab studies (N=16 each) designed to investigate whether showing physical motion, which is showing the process of a system through movement (that is intrinsic to the system's task), of an autonomous system as it completes its task, affects how users perceive its performance. To ensure our studies are ecologically valid and to motivate participants to provide thoughtful responses we adopted consensus-oriented financial incentives. Our results suggest that physical presence does yield higher performance ratings.
