- KonferenzbeitragExperiencing Social Robots for Traffic Guidance using Virtual Reality Videos(Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Schrapel, Maximilian; Bied, Manuel; Bruno, Barbara; Vinel, AlexeyIntegrating autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructure into urban traffic systems is a crucial component for the development of future cities. Therefore, effective public communication and early citizen involvement is essential to align expectations with the capabilities of novel technology. We propose to use point of view 360-degree videos in Virtual Reality to present potential technologies in early stages to stakeholders, accelerate design processes and to measure physiological responses. We demonstrate our proposed method by the use case of social robots using V2X communication and arm gestures for pedestrian traffic guidance at unsignalized intersections. Initial video recordings with the robot in traffic in a Wizard of Oz setting showed curiosity among pedestrians about the robot's use case.
- WorkshopbeitragIntuitive Interfaces? Interface Design and its Impact on Human-Robot Interaction(Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Muhle, Florian; Bock, IndraOne goal of developing humanoid robots and virtual agents is to allow for intuitive and natural interaction with technical systems. However, up to now existing robotic systems do not live up to this promise. Based on an empirical approach that combines the analysis of the interface design of three different robot/agent systems with the micro-analysis of empirical encounters between humans and respective systems, we show that and how the systems provide contradictory 'affordances', which make it systematically difficult to start and continue satisfying interactions with them.
- KonferenzbeitragOn the Attempt to Implement Social Addressability within a Robotic System(i-com: Vol. 16, No. 2, 2017) Graf, Philipp; Marquardt, Manuela; Compagna, DiegoWe conducted a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study during a science event, using a mixed method experimental approach with quantitative and qualitative data (adapted version of Godspeed Questionnaire and audio-visual material analysed videographically). The main purpose of the research was to gather insight into the relevance of the so-called “point of interaction” for a successful and user-friendly interaction with a non-anthropomorphic robot. We elaborate on this concept with reference to sociological theories under the heading of “addressability” and “social address” and generate hypotheses informed by former research and theoretical reflections. We implement an interface on our robot system, comprising two LEDs, which indicate the status of the robot/interaction, and which might possibly serve as basal form of embodied social address. In one experimental condition, the movements were accompanied by a light choreography, the other one was conducted without the LEDs. Our findings suggest a potential relevance of social address for the interaction partner to receive additional information, especially if the situation is a contingent one. Nevertheless, the overall rating on the Godspeed scales showed no significant differences between the light conditions. Several possible reasons for this are discussed. Limitations and advantages are pointed out in the conclusion.
