What kind of interaction do humans have with robots?
Human–robot interaction is the study of interactions between humans and robots. It is often referred as HRI by researchers. Human–robot interaction is a multidisciplinary field with contributions from human–computer interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics, natural-language understanding, design, and psychology.
How do robots affect human interaction?
Furthermore, in settings with many human participants, robots can guide interactions between humans by adjusting their speech, focus, and actions (9, 22–25). This effect is especially pronounced when the content of robot speech is based on group emotions, which can lead to a more positive view of the robot (26).
Why is human-robot interaction important?
The main goal of HRI is to provide robots with all of the skills they need to interact with humans. As robots start becoming more and more commonplace in our society, humans should not be forced to learn new communication methods of interacting with robots.
What makes a social robot good at interacting with humans?
The robot must be able to express appropriate responses in a way that the human user will be able to easily read and understand the responses. This enables the human user to better predict and understand the robot, thus allowing the human user to adapt itself to be able to interact with the robot better [12].
