Abstract

Perception tasks that require long and frequent testing can result in a loss of attention and focus, contributing to erroneous and inconsistent data. To maintain engagement and improve reliability of data, a more interactive interface could be used. This study aims to investigate if a humanoid NAO robot could provide such an interface to improve or maintain engagement during testing. More specifically, human-robot interaction (HRI) will be explored when performing various auditory perception tasks, played in the form of games, on the NAO robot. Evaluation of the HRI will be performed using questionnaires derived from the system usability, Godspeed, and similarity-attraction scales, as well as through video analysis. Future research will extend the evaluation of the HRI to children and aim to further improve the engagement and social acceptability of the NAO robot as a game interface.
