Human Perception of Domestic Robots

Robots are currently used to perform various useful tasks and functions in a home environment. Therefore, people need to perform these tasks and functions in a socially acceptable, comfortable and effective way to share and interact with people. In order to achieve effective human-computer interaction, the physical implementation and behavior of the home robot plays an important role. Previous studies have shown that the emergence of home robots will have an impact on the expectation of home robots.

A pair of studies investigated people's general expectations for robots and attitudes toward home robots. An important conclusion that can be drawn out is that home robots need to be evaluated separately from robots as people tend to have two different concepts. On the other hand, people generally have high expectations for robots, and the image of their "huge robot" seems to be presented to them by science fiction novels and novels. On the other hand, expectation for a robot cleaner such as rumba is very low, because imagining a specific home service robot does not know what can be done at home. Dautenhahn et al. Explain that people want family robots to see as a machine, assistant and servant to perform various tasks for them, not as friends.

This article is designed to help humans complete their daily routine taking into account the current robot's applicability. Robot vacuum cleaners are the leader in this field as millions of units are sold worldwide. Therefore, we will use them to study the next important problem. How does the service cleaning robot work in an actual home? In addition to the extent to which the robot completes its duties, the extent and perception of integration in user space must also be considered. We use a holistic approach to solve these problems by combining two studies to establish commonality. In the initial investigation, we analyzed seven robot samples to determine the impact of key technologies such as navigation systems on technical performance. In the second survey, we conducted national journal surveys with 9 families to determine the needs of users.
