Asking for Help from a Gendered Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project investigates the effects of gender in a human-robot collaboration interaction. In the experiment, participants completed four Sudoku-like puzzles with a robot from which they could verbally elicit help. The robot was given the gendered characteristics of a gendered computer generated voice and either the name Charlotte (female condition) or Charley (male condition). Contrary to expectations from psychology, male participants asked the robot for help more frequently regardless of its assigned gender. Participants of both genders reported feeling more comfortable with a robot assigned the other gender and preferred the male robot’s help. Findings indicate that gender effects can be generated in human-robot collaboration through relatively unobtrusive gendering methods and that they may not align with predictions from psychology.

In this article, after giving a terminolo...
متن کاملFeasibility of detecting and localizing radioactive source using image processing and computational geometry algorithms
We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
متن کاملGender-preferential Linguistic Elements in Applied Linguistics Research Papers: Partial Evaluation of a Model of Gendered Language
This article intended to investigate whether the gender-preferential linguistic elements found by Argomon, Koppel, Fine and Shimoni (2003) show the same gender-linked frequencies in applied linguistics research papers written by non-native speakers of English. In so doing, a sample of 32 articles from different journals was collected and the proportion of the targeted features to the whole numb...
متن کاملTask Behavior and Interaction Planning for a Mobile Service Robot that Occasionally Requires Help
In our work, a robot can proactively ask for help when necessary, based on its awareness of its sensing and actuation limitations. Approaches in which humans provide help to robots do not necessarily reason about the human availability and accuracy. Instead, we model the availability of humans in the robot’s environment and present a planning approach that uses such model to generate the robot ...
متن کاملReduction of Odometry Error in a two Wheeled Differential Drive Robot (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Pose estimation is one of the vital issues in mobile robot navigation. Odometry data can be fused with absolute position measurements to provide better and more reliable pose estimation. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a two wheeled differential drive robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely weight, velocity, wheel p...
