    A Wizard-of-Oz Setup to Assess Pedestrian Behavior and Teach Delivery Robots on Sidewalk Encounters
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Pfleging, Bastian; Seyffer, Norman; Beek, Zina; Zug, Sebastian
    With the spreading of small mobile robots like last-mile delivery robots a new type of vehicles is expected to share sidewalks, foot and cycle paths with vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists. In order to ensure a safe co-existence of all instances that share these paths, a central point is to assess to what extent and how such robots should interact with these users. To understand this novel space for human-robot interaction, we are currently investigating where interaction is expected to happen and how people react to the appearance of such robots. In this paper, we present our approach of using a Wizard-of-Oz robot setup with which we aim to assess pedestrian behavior and at the same time collect sensor data to train future robots. We discuss prior work on mobile robots and external interfaces (eHMIs) for other road users, present our current setup, and outline future research activities.
