Graphical Signage Decreases Negative Attitudes towards Robots and Robot Anxiety in Human-Robot Co-working

Abstract

To achieve full potential of collaborative robots, human operators need confidence in robotic co-worker technologies and their capacities. We compare the impact of dynamic signage with static signage on the human-robot collaboration task performance. The results provide evidence that dynamic signage participants had higher accuracy rates compared to static signage ones. Furthermore, dynamic signage resulted in a significant decrease of NARS scores and static signage in a decrease of RAS scores after the interaction with the robot.
