We investigated how a robot moving with different velocity profiles affects a person's perception of it when working together on a task. The two profiles are the common linear profile and a profile based on the animation principles of slow in, slow out. The investigation was accomplished by running an experiment in a home context where people and the robot cooperated on a clean-up task. We used the Godspeed series of questionnaires to gather people's perception of the robot. Average scores for each series appear not to be different enough to reject the null hypotheses, but looking at the component items provides paths to future areas of research. We also discuss the scenario for the experiment and how it may be used for future research into using animation techniques for moving robots and improving the legibility of a robot's locomotion.

在执行清洁任务时，人类对使用线性或慢进、慢进速度曲线移动的机器人的感知差异

我们研究了以不同速度曲线移动的机器人如何影响一个人在共同完成任务时对其的感知。这两个配置文件是常见的线性配置文件和基于慢进慢出动画原理的配置文件。调查是通过在家庭环境中进行实验来完成的，在这个环境中，人和机器人合作完成清理任务。我们使用Godspeed系列问卷来收集人们对机器人的看法。每个系列的平均分数似乎差异不大，不足以拒绝零假设，但查看组件项目提供了通往未来研究领域的途径。我们还讨论了实验的场景以及如何将其用于未来的研究，以使用动画技术来移动机器人并提高机器人的易读性”
