A Comparison of NAO and Jibo in Child-Robot Interaction

摘要

A study at the Canada Science and Technology Museum with 121 child/parent pairs compared attitudes toward NAO and Jibo in child-robot interaction (CRI) scenarios. The study suggests that subjects (i) favor the robots roughly equally but for different reasons, (ii) are motivated more by autonomous web smartness than domain-specific knowledge, and (iii) prefer human-like gesturing over screen animation for the expression of emotion.
