Human, Organisational and Societal Factors in Robotic Rail Infrastructure Maintenance

Robotics are set to play a significant role in the maintenance of rail infrastructure. However, the introduction of robotics in this environment requires new ways of working for individuals, teams and organisations and needs to reflect societal attitudes if it is to achieve sustainable goals. The following paper presents a qualitative analysis of interviews with 25 experts from rail and robotics to outline the human and organisational issues of robotics in the rail infrastructure environment. Themes were structured around user, team, organisational and societal issues. While the results point to many of the expected issues of robotics (trust, acceptance, business change), a number of issues were identified that were specific to rail. Examples include the importance of considering the whole maintenance task lifecycle, conceptualizing robotic teamworking within the structures of rail maintenance worksites, the complex upstream (robotics suppliers) and downstream (third-party maintenance contractors) supply chain implications of robotic deployment and the public acceptance of robotics in an environment that often comes into direct contact with passenger and people around the railways. Recommendations are made in the paper for successful, human-centric rail robotics deployment.

“…The morphology of social robots is often classified into anthropomorphic (i.e., human-like), zoomorphic (i.e., animal-like), caricatured (i.e., cartoon-like), and functional (i.e., form follows function) [2]. Different morphologies can elicit differences in how users perceive and interact with robots, as research on adult robot-users has shown (e.g., [3][4][5]). Focusing on child-robot interaction (CRI) more specifically, research has shown that robot morphology affects children's role attribution to, and satisfaction with, robots [6]; their perception of a robot's emotions [7], feelings, personality, and cognitive abilities [8]; and their attitudes towards robots [9].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether robot morphology (i.e., anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, or caricatured) influences children's perceptions of animacy, anthropomorphism, social presence, and perceived similarity. Based on a sample of 35 children aged seven to fourteen, we found that, depending on the robot's morphology, children's perceptions of anthropomorphism, social presence, and perceived similarity varied, with the anthropomorphic robot typically ranking higher than the zoomorphic robot. Our findings suggest that the morphology of social robots should be taken into account when planning, analyzing, and interpreting studies on child-robot interaction.
