Abstract:
This paper presents findings from a HRI user-study which investigated participants' perceptions and experiences playing a simple version of the classic game, stone-paper-scissors with a humanoid robot. Participants experienced the robot displaying one of four different robot faces and interacted with the robots using a gesture-based interface. Findings from the study indicated that the effects of the different robot faces were inter-related with participants gender and ratings for overall enjoyment of the game experience. The usability and effectiveness of the gesture-based interface were overall rated positively by participants, though the use of a separate display for the game interface seems to have distracted participants attention from the robot's face.
