Abstract
Understanding the impact of robot errors in child-robot-interactions (CRI) is critical, as current technological
systems are still limited and may randomly present a variety of mistakes during interactions with children. In this study we
manipulate a task-based error of a NAO robot during a semi-autonomous computational thinking task implemented with the Cozmo
robot. Data from 72 children aged 7–10 were analysed regarding their attitudes towards NAO (social trust, competency trust,
liking, and perceived agency), their behaviour towards the robot (self-disclosure, following recommendations), as well as their
task performance. We did not find quantitative effects of the robot’s error on children’s self-reported attitudes, behaviour, or
task performance. Age was also not significantly related to either social attitudes or behaviours towards NAO, although there were
some age-related differences in task performance. Potential reasons behind the lack of statistical effects and limitations of the
study with regards to the manipulation of robot errors are discussed and insights into the design of future CRI studies
provided.
期刊介绍:
This international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning.
