Three Way Relationship of Human-Robot Interaction

Abstract

In this paper, we conceptualize human-robot interaction (HRI)such that a 3-way relationship among a human, robot and environment can be established. Various interactive patterns that may occur are analyzed on the basis knowledge may be resolved and how shared ground can be established through interactio. We also develop measures to evaluate the interactivities such as an Interaction Efoort, Interaction Stuation Awareness using the information theory as well as Ma

rkovian trasition. An experiment is carried

out in which human subjects are asked to ex

pain or answer abouts through interaction.

The results of the experiments show the fe

asibility of the proposed model and the

usefulness of the measures. It is expected that the presented model and measures will

serve to increase uderstanding of the patterns of HRI and to evaluate the Interac

tivity of HRI system.
