Would You Trust a (Faulty) Robot? : Effects of Error, Task Type and Personality on Human-Robot Cooperation and Trust
(ACM Press, 2015-03-02)
How do mistakes made by a robot affect its trustworthiness and acceptance in human-robot collaboration? We investigate how the perception of erroneous robot behavior may influence human interaction choices and the willingness ...
Can Real-time, Adaptive Human-Robot Motor Coordination Improve Humans’ Overall Perception of a Robot?
(2015-03)
Previous research on social interaction among humans suggested that interpersonal motor coordination can help to establish social rapport. Our research addresses the question of whether, in a human-humanoid interaction ...
