“…The effectiveness and suitability of this task was tested prior to the study with two resident artists at University of Hertfordshire. During a weeklong co-habitation experiment the artists participated in the development of the task and in an initial set of test runs [ 44 ]. Fig 5 shows the final layout of the experiment.…”

Recent technological developments like cheap sensors and the decreasing costs of computational power have brought the possibility of robotic home companions within reach. In order to be accepted it is vital for these robots to be able to participate meaningfully in social interactions with their users and to make them feel comfortable during these interactions. In this study we investigated how people respond to a situation where a companion robot is watching its user. Specifically, we tested the effect of robotic behaviours that are synchronised with the actions of a human. We evaluated the effects of these behaviours on the robot’s likeability and perceived intelligence using an online video survey. The robot used was Care-O-bot3, a non-anthropomorphic robot with a limited range of expressive motions. We found that even minimal, positively synchronised movements during an object-oriented task were interpreted by participants as engagement and created a positive disposition towards the robot. However, even negatively synchronised movements of the robot led to more positive perceptions of the robot, as compared to a robot that does not move at all. The results emphasise a) the powerful role that robot movements in general can have on participants’ perception of the robot, and b) that synchronisation of body movements can be a powerful means to enhance the positive attitude towards a non-anthropomorphic robot.

“…The majority of the insights-driven studies (23 out of 32 cases) that use interviews do so in combination with qualitative observation. While a combination of observation and interview is most common, a number of studies combine interviews with other methods, such as with focus groups [60,61,[84][85][86], textual analysis [32,84], and reflective diaries [84]. Others combine them with physiological methods [86] or surveys [87].…”

“…Most of these studies use systematic qualitative analysis techniques, including audio-recording, transcription and thematic analysis [26,29,31,33,35,40,42,44,[58][59][60][61][73][74][75]85,86,[88][89][90]. Less commonly, researchers used a more design-driven approach to data analysis, such as affinity diagrams [32], or a combination of the above techniques [40,75].…”

“…Once again, the majority of studies that use focus groups are insights-driven (20 out of 27 cases). Like interviews, they are used to gain insights into people's perceptions and often used as a preliminary method to understand people's reactions to and attitudes to robots in general [54,61,79,85,92], to conduct early needs-finding [30,33,[84][85][86]93,94], and to explore potential applications or acceptance of robots by a specific community or user groups [54,62,95].…”

Qualitative Research in HRI: A Review and Taxonomy

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is young and highly inter-disciplinary, and the approaches, standards and methods proper to it are still in the process of negotiation. This paper reviews the use of qualitative methods and approaches in the HRI literature in order to contribute to the development of a foundation of approaches and methodologies for these new research areas. In total, 73 papers that use qualitative methods were systematically reviewed. The review reveals that there is widespread use of qualitative methods in HRI, but very different approaches to reporting on it, and high variance in the rigour with which the approaches are applied. We also identify the key qualitative methods used. A major contribution of this paper is a taxonomy categorizing qualitative research in HRI in two dimensions: by 'study type' and based on the specific qualitative method used.

Abstract. This paper presents the concept and an example of robject, a robotic entity embedded in an everyday object. Robjects use the affordance of the original object to ensure an efficient interaction and a high acceptance. The example of the ranger robot shows that this approach can be applied to the domestic environment. We explore the integration of a robot (robject) into a family household, by regarding the home as a ecosystem, which consists of people, parts, products, activities, and interactions. A test of the ranger robot in families validates this holistic approach and shows the impact of this type of design in respect to the complexity of the robotic system.
