Abstract
In this paper, the design of an office-guide robot
for social interaction studies is presented. We are interested in
studying the impact of passage behaviours in casual encounters.
While the system offers assistance in locating the appropriate
office that a visitor wants to reach, it is expected to engage in a
passing behaviour to allow free passage for other persons that it
may encounter. Through use of such an approach it is possible
to study the effect of social interaction in a situation that is
much more natural than out-of-context user studies. The system
has been tested in an early evaluation phase when it worked
for almost 7 hours. A total of 64 interactions with people were
registered and 13 passage behaviors were performed to conclude
that this framework can be successfully used for the evaluation
of passing behaviors in natural contexts of operation.
