Abstract

This video presents a visual summary of large-scale, complex human study in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) designed to evaluate whether humans would view interactions with two non-anthropomorphic robots more positively and calming when the robots were operated in an emotive mode versus a standard, non-emotive mode. The video presents actual participants´ reactions, the study design, and images from search and rescue operations.
