Effects of Cognitive Load Variation on Anthropomorphism During a Cooperative Human-Robot Pick-and-Place Task.

Abstract

This paper investigates anthropomorphism of a robot arm during a cooperative human-robot pick-and-place task, while varying cognitive load of test persons. Test persons are required to repeatedly provide a Lego brick for the robot by alternatingly putting it onto one of two trays. The robot then picks it up and puts it in front of the test person again. Cognitive load is varied by whether or not an initially given 8-digit number has to be remembered by the test person. Dimensions of anthropomorphism are acquired using the HRIES questionnaire and cognitive load is acquired using two state-of-the-art questionnaires. Results show a significant correlation of perceived sociability and animacy on mental demand and cognitive load, but only in the high load condition. It is suggested, that cognitive load should be considered during cooperative task design because resulting variations of anthropomorphism may impact cooperative task performance.
