“…We use the French word “Dira” for “he or she will point out” as a reference to the process throughout the task as well as the origin of the inspiring game. The 84 unique images of a “Dixit” card deck are described as “artwork” 1 and “dreamlike” 2 and have previously been used in teaching a foreign language (Cimermanová, 2014 ), in research on imaginative design narratives (Berger and Pain, 2017 ), and observing conformity and trust between humans and robots (Salomons et al, 2018 ). The cards have also inspired interventions to foster creativity (Liapis et al, 2015 ), and are suggested as “an additional source of inspiration” (Wetzel et al, 2017 , p. 206) for an ideation method.…”

Paving the Way to Eureka—Introducing “Dira” as an Experimental Paradigm to Observe the Process of Creative Problem Solving

“Dira” is a novel experimental paradigm to record combinations of behavioral and metacognitive measures for the creative process. This task allows assessing chronological and chronometric aspects of the creative process directly and without a detour through creative products or proxy phenomena. In a study with 124 participants we show that (a) people spend more time attending to selected vs. rejected potential solutions, (b) there is a clear connection between behavioral patterns and self-reported measures, (c) the reported intensity of Eureka experiences is a function of interaction time with potential solutions, and (d) experiences of emerging solutions can happen immediately after engaging with a problem, before participants explore all potential solutions. The conducted study exemplifies how “Dira” can be used as an instrument to narrow down the moment when solutions emerge. We conclude that the “Dira” experiment is paving the way to study the process, as opposed to the product, of creative problem solving.

“…The second situation occurs when the robot makes a mistake, which can lead to a disproportionate loss of trust in it [44,45]. The potential loss of trust from such events is not just a rare curiosity-robots are far from infallible, especially when operating for prolonged periods of time.…”

Trust in Robots: Challenges and Opportunities

Purpose of Review To assess the state-of-the-art in research on trust in robots and to examine if recent methodological advances can aid in the development of trustworthy robots. Recent Findings While traditional work in trustworthy robotics has focused on studying the antecedents and consequences of trust in robots, recent work has gravitated towards the development of strategies for robots to actively gain, calibrate, and maintain the human user's trust. Among these works, there is emphasis on endowing robotic agents with reasoning capabilities (e.g., via probabilistic modeling). Summary The state-of-the-art in trust research provides roboticists with a large trove of tools to develop trustworthy robots. However, challenges remain when it comes to trust in real-world human-robot interaction (HRI) settings: there exist outstanding issues in trust measurement, guarantees on robot behavior (e.g., with respect to user privacy), and handling rich multidimensional data. We examine how recent advances in psychometrics, trustworthy systems, robot-ethics, and deep learning can provide resolution to each of these issues. In conclusion, we are of the opinion that these methodological advances could pave the way for the creation of truly autonomous, trustworthy social robots.

“…However, the systematic investigation of the notion of robot groups from a social psychological point of view has become a topic of scientific inquiry recently (e.g., References [11][12][13][14][15]). Previous research has explored, among other things, conformity toward robot groups [11][12][13] and the influence of robot groups on user behavior and emotions [14][15][16]. Some studies implied that mechanisms of social categorization and group perception are similar between groups of robots and humans.…”

Research on robot groups has often applied psychological principles underlying group processes between humans to interactions with and between robots. However, such research has failed to test empirically whether these principles indeed apply to the robot context. For instance, the notion of a social group may be interpreted differently when facing human versus robot groups. Basic research on this issue is missing. Therefore, the present experiment aimed at integrating social psychological theorizing and research on robot groups by utilizing the principles of group entitativity. We examined the effect of robot number and similarity on the perception of these robots as a (social) group. To do so, participants saw pictures of one to ten robots, appearing low or high in similarity. Results showed that the aspects eliciting the perception of a social "group" in humans seem to differ from the factors evoking robot group perception. According to our findings, at least three robots seem necessary for the perception of a robot "group" to emerge. Social psychological research, however, has proposed that two persons suffice to elicit the notion of a human social group. Basic research is needed to substantiate assumptions drawn from social psychological theorizing before translating it into human-robot context.
