Abstract

This paper describes an innovative approach for studying interaction between humans and care robots. Using live theatrical performance, we developed a play that depicts a plausible, future care scenario between a human and a socially assistive robot. We used an expanded version of the Godspeed Questionnaire to measure the audiences’ reactions to the robot, the observed interactions between the human and the robot, and their overall reactions to the performance. We present our results and propose a methodology and guidelines for using applied theatre as a platform to study human robot interaction (HRI). Unlike other HRI studies, the subject of our research is not the user who interacts with the robot but rather the audiences observing the HRI. We consider the technical and artistic challenges of designing and staging a believable care scenario that could potentially influence the perception and acceptance of care robots. This study marks a first step towards designing a robust framework for combining applied theatre with HRI research.
