Abstract
Research has found homogeneous robot groups can be intimidating, but few have studied the impact of intentionally incoherent robot group motion. This work explores incoherent group motion through an exploratory online user study, varying how robots move relative to a human figure entering the scene. Online participants (N=240 participants) rated twelve research conditions across various social and functional goals. Results showed coherent groups had the strongest communication signals, but incoherent motion can cue more complex communications. Coherent motion towards was threatening and blocking, and coherent motion away was avoidant and harmless. Coherent stillness was inviting. Subgroup size linearly affected communication strength.
