Weiss, Astrid, Buchner, Roland, Scherndl, Thomas and Tscheligi, Manfred (2009): I would choose the other card: humanoid robot gives an advice. In: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction 2009. pp. 259-260.

“This article reports on a user study conducted to asses the credibility of a humanoid robot. The study set-up was based on the "Monty Hall Problem. Overall 13 people between the ages of 19 and 84 took part in the study (7 male and 6 female). The experiment was set up as a card-game where the participant had to guess which of the three cards shows a price. At one point of the experiment the robot advised the participant to change his/her mind and choose another card. During the user study the participants had to fill in a questionnaire on their level of certainty about their choice and the credibility of the robot. The results showed a significant correlation between the believability of the robot and the certainty in the decision made. Furthermore, the outcomes showed differences between participants who followed the robot's advise and participants who did not, regarding credibility, certainty of the decision made and the estimation whether the robot was helpful or not.”

Weiss, Astrid, Scherndl, Thomas, Tscheligi, Manfred and Billard, Aude (2009): Evaluating the ICRA 2008 HRI challenge. In: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction 2009. pp. 261-262.

“This paper reports on the evaluation of the ICRA 2008 Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Challenge. Five research groups demonstrated state-of-the-art work on HRI with a special focus on social and learning abilities. The demonstrations were rated by expert evaluators, in charge of awarding the prize, and 269 participants, i.e. 20 percent of the conference attendees through a standardized questionnaire (semantic differential). The data was analyzed with respect to six independent variables: expert evaluators vs. attendees, nationality of participants, origin region of the demo, age, gender and knowledge level of the attendees. Conference attendees tended to give higher scores for Social Skills, General Impression, and Overall Score than the expert evaluators. Irrespectively of the level of knowledge, age, and gender, conference attendees rated all demos relatively homogeneously. However, a comparative analysis of the conference attendees's ratings nationality-wise showed that demonstrations were rated differently depending on the region of origin. Conference attendees for the USA and Asian countries tended to rate demos from the same country of origin more frequently and more positively.”
