Abstract

This project investigates whether there is a correlation between physiological response, trust, and the impact speed has on humanrobot collaborative tasks. Using galvanic skin response, heartbeat-rate, pupil-dilation and body language for affect detection and comparing the physiological responses of those modalities with a subjective evaluation of the robots performance and behavior. While there wasn’t a statistically significant correlation between trust and physiological response, it was discovered that speed plays a significant role when directly approaching or retracting from a person
