There is currently relatively little work on architectures and evaluations of robots that support creative designs of human interactants in manipulation tasks through dialogue. We build a dialogue system by integrating a large language model into a robot cognitive architecture and investigate whether engaging in dialogues with the robot collaborator on a creative task has positive effects on task satisfaction and experience of the human, evaluating the effect of dialogue on perceived robot utility, intelligence, and supportiveness as a creative partner. We test our hypotheses with a cake decoration task during which participants collaborate with a robot arm equipped with a mixed-initiative co-creative dialogue system to place decorations on a dummy cake. The results show that the participants prefer robots that make reasonable suggestions compared to random suggestions and that they perceive those robots to provide more creative support.

摘要

There is currently relatively little work on architectures and evaluations of robots that support creative designs of human interactants in manipulation tasks through dialogue. We build a dialogue system by integrating a large language model into a robot cognitive architecture and investigate whether engaging in dialogues with the robot collaborator on a creative task has positive effects on task satisfaction and experience of the human, evaluating the effect of dialogue on perceived robot utility, intelligence, and supportiveness as a creative partner. We test our hypotheses with a cake decoration task during which participants collaborate with a robot arm equipped with a mixed-initiative co-creative dialogue system to place decorations on a dummy cake. The results show that the participants prefer robots that make reasonable suggestions compared to random suggestions and that they perceive those robots to provide more creative support.
