How Does Real-Time Feedback Affect Communicative Actions in Social-Physical Human-Robot Interaction?

hi

Social robots are becoming more common, especially to motivate older adults to exercise and stay healthy. To increase the effectiveness of such robots, researchers need to develop autonomous interactions that are understandable to the user without help from a human operator. Motivated by this requirement, we have programmed a Baxter robot to play an exercise game via multi-modal non-verbal communication. When the user is confused or makes a mistake, the robot can optionally provide corrective feedback based on real-time measurements of user actions. We hypothesize feedback will improve both the user's physical performance and the user's opinion of the robot's social skills during a planned experiment.
