“…In this paper, we define robots as technologies with both virtual-and physical-embodied actions. Scholars seem to agree that embodiment and representation of embodied behaviors are two characteristics that make robots different from other technologies (Dautenhahn, 2007;Krämer, von der Pütten, & Eimler, 2012;Thrun, 2004). In this paper, we examine a specific type of robot we refer to as an embodied physical action (EPA) robot.…”

Although different types of teams increasingly employ embodied physical action (EPA) robots as a collaborative technology to accomplish their work, we know very little about what makes such teams successful. This paper has two objectives: the first is to examine whether a team's emotional attachment to its robots can lead to better team performance and viability; the second is to determine whether robot and team identification can promote a team's emotional attachment to its robots. To achieve these objectives, we conducted a between-subjects experiment with 57 teams working with robots. Teams performed better and were more viable when they were emotionally attached to their robots. Both robot and team identification increased a team's emotional attachment to its robots. Results of this study have implications for collaboration using EPA robots specifically and for collaboration technology in general.

“…It might thus be that social robots are just as capable as other humans of satisfying the human need to belong. In line with the theory on the need to belong (Baumeister & Leary, 1995), people easily intend to form relationships with robots (Krämer, von der Pütten, & Eimler, 2012).…”

“…People interact with robots in a similar manner as they do in face-to-face interactions (Kerepesi et al, 2006) and seemingly build relationships along the same rules as in human-human interactions (Banks, Willoughby, & Banks, 2008;Bickmore & Pickard, 2005). Therefore, it seems unnecessary to depart from the rules of human interpersonal communication when evaluating human-robot interactions (Krämer, von der Pütten, & Eimler, 2012). Hence, there will probably be more similarities between human-human and human-robot interactions than differences.…”

“…Interaction takes place between all parts, and in all directions. In social robotics, interaction between human and robot goes well beyond pure technical sensor data and actuator commands, and comparisons with human-human interaction has been suggested (Krämer et al, 2012;Hiroi and Ito, 2012). A social robot may both perceive and express emotions such as joy, boredom, trust, and fear, and also other high-level properties such as tiredness and attention.…”

Abstract:In many complex robotics systems, interaction takes place in all directions between human, robot, and environment. Performance of such a system depends on this interaction, and a proper evaluation of a system must build on a proper modeling of interaction, a relevant set of performance metrics, and a methodology to combine metrics into a single performance value. In this paper, existing models of human-robot interaction are adapted to fit complex scenarios with one or several humans and robots. The interaction and the evaluation process is formalized, and a general method to fuse performance values over time and for several performance metrics is presented. The resulting value, denoted interaction quality, adds a dimension to ordinary performance metrics by being explicit about the interplay between performance metrics, and thereby provides a formal framework to understand, model, and address complex aspects of evaluation of human-robot interaction.
