Autonomous delivery robots (ADRs) encounter incidentally copresent persons (InCoPs) during their delivery journeys. Despite the potential for ADRs' behavior to influence the behavior and cognition of InCoPs, there is limited research on the interaction between ADRs and InCoPs. Therefore, in this stu…
Customer satisfaction is not only determined by how workers treat customers but also by how they treat their coworkers. In this sense, we examined whether the dynamics of robot workers influence user satisfaction. To optimize the robot team's atmosphere for Korean culture, we adopted the Korean hono…
Isolation wards operate in quarantine rooms to prevent cross-contamination caused by infectious diseases. Behind the benefits, medical personnel can have the infection risk from patients and the heavy workload due to the isolation. This work proposes a robot-assisted system to alleviate these proble…
Social relations within a group are one of the factors that build the social context. Less attention has been paid to social relations within a group for human-robot interaction design. In this study, we designed different types of service behaviors for social relations in a mixed age group and cond…
Inducing a user’s behavior through social interaction is a goal that a social robot aims to achieve. It has been argued that empathy has a strong effect on behavior inducement. In human-human interaction, it has been verified that the influence of a nonverbal cue on empathy outweighs that of a verba…
A non-lexical backchannel is known to be dependent on the conversational context, and its form can be distinguished by the social relation between the speaker and the listener in the Korean language. Thus, to investigate the effect of a non-lexical backchannel, we conducted a 2 (context: information…
As robots and robotic things become to have more agency, IoRT which consists of robots and robotic things can be considered as a social organization. Accordingly, social organization structure of IoRT could affect users' behavior and perception of IoRT. In this study, in order to examine the effect…
In smart home environments, central interfaces that take commands from users and give orders to each relevant device appropriately are increasingly important. We investigated the type of central interface that consumers are more willing to adopt and whether these interfaces enhance the evaluation of…
The purpose of this study is to investigate a robot's impression perceived by users as well as the accuracy of perception of location information, which the robot provided according to the modality type of the robot. To explore this, we designed two 2 (verbal types: deictic vs. descriptive) x 2 (nos…
