To this aim, we focus on a specific technological use case: behavior and habit change. As consumer behavior research suggests that preferred designs and price sensitivity will vary between those who are technology early adopters and those who are mainstream adopters, we look at how self-classification influences the aforementioned areas. To this end, we interview 18 individuals to identify behavioral change goals and note reactions to three videos of technology for habit change. In addition to assessing willingness-to-pay (WTP) by using established methods in market research, holistic product design cards are also created to aid this process and to support user design. Additionally, we compare how people’s purchase-based designs differ from their ideal designs. We find that although early adopters prefer domestic robots to be human-like in form and behavior, they exhibit significant downgrading, especially to a more device-like form, due to price. Alternatively, we find that those in the mainstream prefer technology that is not human-like in form or behavior, and that privacy concerns and a desire for control have significant impacts on their designs.","PeriodicalId":14361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Robotics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139495274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many challenges, such as kinematic differences between people and robots, reduced perceptual feedback, and communication latency, currently limit how well robot avatars can achieve full immersion. This paper presents AVATRINA, a teleoperated robot designed to address some of these concerns and maximize the operator’s capabilities while using a commodity light-weight human–machine interface. Team AVATRINA took 4th place at the recent $10 million ANA Avatar XPRIZE competition, which required contestants to design avatar systems that could be controlled by novice operators to complete various manipulation, navigation, and social interaction tasks. This paper details the components of AVATRINA and the design process that contributed to our success at the competition. We highlight a novel study on one of these components, namely the effects of baseline-interpupillary distance matching and head mobility for immersive stereo vision and hand-eye coordination.","PeriodicalId":14361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Robotics","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139461996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots as managers have the power to reward and punish. Currently, a small number of previous relevant studies have mainly focused on the impact of robot punishment behaviour on human beings, but managers without reward behaviour have difficulty gaining the trust of members. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of robot managers' reward and punishment behaviours on human–robot trust and job performance and explores the mediating effect of emotion and the moderating effect of group relations. The study recruited 76 participants using a 2 (independent variable robot managers' reward and punishment behaviours: reward behaviour, punishment behaviour) × 2 (moderator variable human–robot group relations: ingroup and outgroup) experimental design, and each participant and a robot manager worked together to complete the task of sorting items. It was found that the robot managers' reward-punishment behaviours have an impact on human emotions. Emotions play a mediating role in the effect of robot managers' reward-punishment behaviours on human trust but do not play a mediating role in the effect on job performance. The human–robot group relation plays a moderating role in the effects of emotions on human–robot trust. The research results help more preferably understand the interaction mechanism of the human–robot team and more preferably serve the management and cooperation of the human–robot team by appropriately adjusting the robot managers' reward and punishment behaviours in the human–robot team and the human–robot group relation.","PeriodicalId":14361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Robotics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139424055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process leads to a significantly greater number of care workers that will be needed in the future. Concurrently, the demands on caregivers concerning the amount of care and quality of care are increasing. Socially-assistive robots (SARs) are a promising resource in this regard. At the same time, research that directly addresses the target group of elderly persons with cognitive impairments is underrepresented. This study reports observations regarding the interaction between a SAR and elderly people with cognitive impairments. Seven observational and behavioural measures were conducted during the interaction between residents of a nursing home and the SAR named “James”. Twelve participants from two residential homes took part in the study. Data were analysed by using content analysis and interpreted along a technology acceptance model. Verbal comments and observable emotions of the SAR were predominantly positive, only a few participants reacted negatively to the SAR “James”. There was also hardly any shyness to touch the robot. The participants made eye contact and responded adequately to the robot’s requests. Tasks which were set by the SAR in group settings led to a higher communication between the participants than tasks in single-user settings. The mainly upbeat emotions and interaction with the SAR indicates a positive attitude towards the system. Long-term studies are needed to investigate the sustainability of robot acceptance.","PeriodicalId":14361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Robotics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139067443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A socially assistive robot (SAR) for promoting healthy workplace practices could provide the physical presence of a health coach along with the scalability of a notification system. To investigate the impact of such a system, we implemented a SAR as an alternative break-taking support solution and examined its impact on individual users’ break-taking habits over relatively long-term deployments. We conducted an initial two-month-long study (N = 7) to begin to understand the robot’s influence beyond the point of novelty, and we followed up with a week-long data collection (N = 14) to augment the dataset size. The resulting data was used to inform a robot behavior model and formulate possible methods of personalizing robot behaviors. We found that uninterrupted sitting time tended to decrease with our SAR intervention. During model formulation, we found participant responsiveness to the break-taking prompts could be classified into three archetypes and that archetype-specific adjustments to the general model led to improved system success. These results indicate that break-taking prompts are not a one-size-fits-all problem, and that even a small dataset can support model personalization for improving the success of assistive robotic systems.","PeriodicalId":14361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Robotics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139055217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
