Previous HRI research has established that trust, disclosure, and a sense of companionship lead to positive outcomes. In this study, we extend existing work by exploring behavioral approaches to increasing these three aspects of HRI. We increased the expressivity and vulnerability of a robot and measured the effects on trust, disclosure, and companionship during human-robot interaction. We engaged...
This chapter describes the preliminary results of a study of design practices in different regions and industries with the goal of understanding the relationship between culture, especially national culture, and the work of designers. In our ethnographic study, we have talked so far with 32 designers from Asia, Europe, and North American and observed designers as they did their work. We report initial...
In this study, we sought to clarify the effects of users' cultural background and cultural context on human-robot team collaboration by investigating attitudes toward and the extent to which people changed their decisions based on the recommendations of a robot collaborator. We report the results of a 2??2 experiment with nationality (Chinese vs. US) and communication style (implicit vs. explicit)...
This study investigates the effects of group orientation and communication style on Chinese subjects' responsiveness to robots. A 2×2 experiment was conducted with group orientation (ingroup vs. outgroup) and communication style (implicit vs. explicit) as dimensions. The results confirm expectations that subjects with a Chinese cultural background are more responsive to robots that use implicit communication...
As robots (and other technologies) increasingly make decisions on behalf of people, it is important to understand how people from diverse cultures respond to this capability. Thus far, much design of autonomous systems takes a Western view valuing individual preferences and choice. We challenge the assumption that Western values are universally optimal for robots. In this study, we sought to clarify...
