Ethological Evaluation of Human - Agent Interaction : are children more efficient and motivated with computer , virtual agent or robots ?

چکیده
Nowadays, robots and virtual agents become companions for humans. They seem to have distinct roles in the Human-Agent Interaction. Thus, when developing a new application, it is judicious to wonder which the better is. In the Robadom project, a homecare robot has to assist elderly at home. The robot provides cognitive stimulation game. We developed StimCards, a cognitive card-based game. The principle question is: is the robot the best interlocutor in this context? This paper presents an evaluation of StimCards. Participants are children because French elderly is reluctant to robots and because they will be the future hypothetical users.

Cooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملFault Detection and Isolation of Multi-Agent Systems via Complex Laplacian
This paper studies the problem of fault detection and isolation (FDI) for multi-agent systems (MAS) via complex Laplacian subject to actuator faults. A planar formation of point agents in the plane using simple and linear interaction rules related to complex Laplacian is achieved. The communication network is a directed, and yet connected graph with a fixed topology. The loss of symmetry in the...
متن کاملInterface for Monitoring and Interacting with Multi-Terrain Robot Teams
Previous research on human-robot interfaces has been mainly concerned with interaction between one person and one robot or software agent. Yet, there are many scenarios in which multiple human-multiple robot interactions are possible, such as with teams of rescue robots, combat robot teams, or surveillance robots. Our work seeks to turn a fastpaced interactive multi-agent system (Gamebots) into...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملRealizing Seamless Interaction: a Cognitive Agent Architecture for Virtual and Smart Environments
We propose a cognitively motivated vertically layered two-pass agent architecture for realizing responsiveness, reactivity, and pro-activeness of smart objects, smart environments, virtual characters, and virtual place controllers, that is controllers for lighting and weather conditions. Being cognitively motivated, our approach aims to respect the cognitive demands of a human being, in order t...
