    Designing VUIs for Social Assistance Robots for People with Dementia
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Tagungsband, 2021) Striegl, Julian; Gollasch, David; Loitsch, Claudia; Weber, Gerhard
    Elderly people and especially people with dementia often experience social isolation and need assistance while performing activities of daily living. We investigate a novel approach to cope with this problem by integrating voice assistants and social assistance robots. Due to the special communication needs of people with mild cognitive impairment, the design of interfaces of such systems is to be based on the particular requirements of the target user group. This paper investigates, how a voice user interface should be designed for elderly users with mild cognitive impairment – such as an early stage of dementia – to provide personalised support throughout activities of daily living. A context and user analysis delivered a set of 11 guidelines for voice user interfaces for people with dementia. For a pilot study we selected those strategies often applied by caregivers in their communication with people with dementia and evaluated the voice user interface among elderly participants and healthcare workers who reported a high feasibility, usefulness and acceptance of the designed system.

    Ethical, Legal & Participatory Concerns in the Development of Human-Robot Interaction - Lessons from Eight Research Projects with Social Robots in Real-World Scenarios
    (i-com: Vol. 21, No. 2, 2022) Carros, Felix; Störzinger, Tobias; Wierling, Anne; Preussner, Adrian; Tolmie, Peter
    Research on Human-Robot Interaction is increasing as system become widely available and reached a level that enables smooth interactions. Yet, many research projects act in a silo mentality, in regard of participatory, ethical, or legal matters of social robotics. Knowledge about specific challenges is not universal and has often to be transferred from non-robotic contexts. We present findings in the three dimensions: participatory design, ethics for social robots and legal aspects. We accompanied eight research projects on social robots in real-world scenarios for three years. During that time, we spoke, observed, and helped (where possible) the research projects. This gave us specific insights into their work. Our findings work in three dimensions. In participatory design we observed that the trust relationship to users is essential to gain truthful insights and that a mixed method approach is promising. Regarding ethical aspects, we could see that ethical matters should be answered early on. And in the legal dimensions we noticed that the GDPR regulations are a challenge that often requires the help of experts. This work is reflecting on the observation of eight projects and is collecting lessons learned to help future projects and to learn from previous work.

    On the Attempt to Implement Social Addressability within a Robotic System
    (i-com: Vol. 16, No. 2, 2017) Graf, Philipp; Marquardt, Manuela; Compagna, Diego
    We 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.

    Time and Timing in Human-Computer Interaction
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Riemer, Martin; Bogon, Johanna; Rußwinkel, Nele; Henze, Niels; Wiese, Eva; Halbhuber, David; Thomaschke, Roland
    Time perception is an integral aspect of human experience and has numerous implications for the communication between humans and computers. When interacting with computers, user experience is often compromised by non-optimal latency and temporal misperception. In this workshop, we gather scientists from diverse research fields (including Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Sciences, and Design) to discuss the possibilities of altering the temporal experience of users of interactive systems and to reflect on the potential benefits and risks of such a systematic manipulation. This workshop aims to foster a shared understanding of imminent research questions at the intersection of time perception and HCI research and to identify strategies for tackling them in collaborative projects.

    Why (pre)closing matters. The case of human-robot interaction
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Rollet, Nicolas; Licoppe, Christian
    Using a conversationalist (CA) approach to study social interactions with artificial agents, we’ve collected « face-to-face » interactions between humans and the robot Pepper. As part of the topic of (dis)engagement, our attention has been focused on the last seconds of exchanges, namely the way humans manage to leave or close the interaction. The data revealed how much sequential issues, accountable actions as well as ritual considerations matter in many cases.

    Wie wirkt der Care-O-bot 4 im Verkaufsraum?
    (Mensch und Computer 2017 - Usability Professionals, 2017) Schmitt, Carolin; Schäfer, Johannes; Burmester, Michael
    Der Umgang mit Robotern ist für die meisten Menschen noch neu und es wäre schön, wenn sie spielerisch und einfach wäre. Der Care-O-bot 4 ist ein socially interactive robot und kommt in unterschiedlichen Bereichen zum Einsatz.. Die erste reale Umgebung in welcher Care-O-bot 4 eingesetzt wird, ist im Elektronikmarkt Saturn. Wir haben die Interaktion zwischen dem Care-O-bot 4 und Kunden (von Kindern bis Älteren) sowie den Verkäufern in Form einer Mehr-Methoden-Studie untersucht. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei auf der formativen (qualitativen) Evaluation der Wirkung (User Experience) des Serviceroboters. Dabei haben wir sowohl emotionale als dynamische Aspekte der Interaktion und UX betrachtet. Neben einer explorativen Feldstudie im Elektronikmarkt, erfolgte ein Test des Care-O-bot 4 in einer Laborumgebung. Wir stellen das Vorgehen und die Ergebnisse vor.
