ABSTRACT
If robotic assistants are to be successful, people will need appropriate mental models of what these robots can do and how they operate. We are developing techniques for measuring people's mental models of interactive robots and social agents. We aim to measure the content of these models--if they are anthropomorphic or mechanistic--and the richness of these models (how elaborate or sparse they are; how much confidence people have in them). We report progress here.

The Robotic Social Attributes Scale (RoSAS): Development and Validation
HRI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionAccurately measuring perceptions of robots has become increasingly important as technological progress permits more frequent and extensive interaction between people and robots. Across four studies, we develop and validate a scale to measure social ...
Cooperation with a robotic assistant
CHI EA '02: CHI '02 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsRobotic assistants soon will serve many assistive roles in our everyday lives. It is important to understand how these robots can interact with users, not just as tools, but also as social agents. In a controlled laboratory experiment, we examined ...
Gesture Cues in Navigational Robots: Investigating the Effects of Honesty on People’s Perceptions and Performance in a Navigational Game
Social RoboticsAbstractAs robots have become better in tasks such as motion planning and obstacle avoidance, they will soon face a new challenge: sharing a physical space with humans. This challenge means that robots and humans need to be able to interpret what the ...
