Effect of scenario media on human-robot interaction evaluation

Abstract

Different media used to present the human-robot interaction (HRI) scenarios may affect users' perception of a robot in the user studies. We investigated how different scenario media (text, video, and live interaction) might influence user evaluation of social robots based on a controlled experiment. We found that multiple aspects of user acceptance were influenced by the scenario media. Moreover, more design problems and redesign proposals were elicited when users were exposed to media with higher fidelity. The results led to useful insights into choosing scenario media in HRI evaluation.

Acceptance and Attitudes Toward a Human-like Socially Assistive Robot by Older Adults

“…These experiments consisted of 188 older adults socially interacting with a robot or virtual agent (Heerink, 2010). The Almere model has commonly been used with visual demonstrations of assistive social agents Xu et al, 2012). The following hypotheses, from the Almere model, were tested with the adapted questionnaire:…”

Evaluation of Methodologies and Measures on the Usability of Social Robots: A Systematic Review

“…Text. There was only one study that used a stimulus delivered in the textual description and it was illustrated with photographs of the robot [9]. They used a text stimulus for comparing the effect of scenario media.…”

Comparing people's preference on culture-dependent queuing behaviors in a simulated crowd

“…Previous research [16] shows that the different media give varying level of learner of acceptance and feedback.…”
