Investigating What Variables People Pick Up When Perceiving Other People’s Maximum Vertical One Degree-of-Freedom Reach Heights to Inform the Design of Assistive Robots
We aim to design assistive robots that perceive people’s affordances in ways that are similar to how people perceive other people’s affordances. Toward that end, two experiments investigated what variables people pick up when perceiving actors’ maximum vertical one degree-of-freedom reach heights. In Experiment 1, point-light displays depicted actors who moved, were either tall or short, and had markers placed on either their whole body (head, sh…
How Do People Perceive Other People’s Affordances, and How Might That Help Us Design Robots That Can Do So
A considerable amount of research has worked toward enabling robot caregivers to perform various tasks for individuals in need of assistance. However, little, if any, research has aimed to enable robot caregivers to determine when individuals need help performing tasks. One way to develop such robots is to start with what is already known about people determining whether other people can perform a task without help. Ecological Psychologists conce…
