“…The goal of our study was to find differences and similarities in user behavior when the participants give commands and feedback to the pet-robot and the humanoid. The user study, described in this paper, is a part of our work on learning commands and feedback for human-robot interaction [1]. Each participant interacted with either the humanoid or the pet-robot and instructed the robot to perform different typical household tasks like bringing a coffee, switching on the light or the TV, tidying up etc.…”

Abstract-Our study compares users' interaction with a humanoid robot and a dog-shaped pet-robot. We conducted a user study in which the participants had to teach object names as well as simple commands to either the humanoid or the pet-robot and give feedback to the robot for correct and incorrect performance. While we found, that the way of uttering commands rather depends on personal preference than on the robots' appearance, the way of giving positive and negative feedback differed significantly between both robots: We found that for the pet-robot users gave reward in a similar way as giving reward to a real dog by touching it and commenting on its performance by uttering feedback like "well done" or "that was right". For the humanoid, users typically did not use touch as a reward and rather used personal expressions like "thank you" to praise the robot. Our findings suggest that users actually rely to some degree on the appearance of a robot as a cue for deciding how to interact with it.

“…As a part of our work on learning commands and feedback for human-robot interaction [1], we conducted a user study on how participants give commands and feedback to the robots AIBO and ASIMO. AIBO is a dog-shaped robot, made by Sony, which has roughly the size of a cat or a small dog.…”

In this paper, we compare users' interaction with the humanoid robot ASIMO and the dog-shaped robot AIBO. We conducted a user study in which the participants had to teach object names and simple commands and give feedback to either AIBO or ASIMO. We did not find significant differences in the users' evaluation of both robots and in the way commands were given to the two different robots. However, the way of giving positive and negative feedback differed significantly: We found that for the pet-robot AIBO users tend to give reward in a similar way as giving reward to a real dog by touching it and commenting on its performance by uttering feedback like "well done" or "that was right". For the humanoid ASIMO, users did not use touch as a reward and rather used personal expressions like "thank you" to give positive feedback to the robot.
