Abstract

This study highlights the effectiveness of analyzing the feelings children have when interacting with robots in a dramatic play setting using augmented reality in Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Existing dramatic play activities using robots by QR-markers were edited, and their weaknesses have been corrected so that children could interact more effectively with robots. Additionally, children's levels of interest and engagement in dramatic play activities, the accuracy of robotic props, and the smartness of robots were analyzed throughout children's interactions during such activities using augmented reality. Younger participants were more likely to find robots interesting and intelligent, and participants with no previous experience with robots had relatively higher levels of interest in robots and tended to notice changes in robots' costumes.

이 연구에서는 인간과로봇상호작용(HRI)에서 유아들을 대상으로 로봇을 활용한 증강현실 극놀이 실험을 통하여 아동들이 느끼는 상호작용 분석을 제시하고자 한다. 기존의 극놀이 로봇콘텐츠를 아동들이 상호작용하기에 편하도록 QR 마커의 단점을 개선하여 개발하였다. 또한 로봇을 활용한 증강현실 극놀이에 대해서 로봇 극놀이에 대한 흥미, 로봇분장의 적절성, 로봇이 똑똑해 보이는 정도, 극놀이에 몰입감에 대한 아동의 반응을 분석하여 보았다. 나이가 어릴수록 재미가 높고, 로봇이 똑똑하다고 생각하였고 로봇 사용경험이 없는 아이들이 상대적 흥미가 높고, 로봇분장에 대해서는 로봇사용 경험 있는 아이들이 차이를 인지하는 것으로 나타났다.
