A comparison of the psychological effects of robot motion in physical and virtual environments
APPLIED ERGONOMICS, 112.
author keywords: Human-robot interaction; Virtual reality; Workload
MeSH headings : Humans; Robotics / methods; User-Computer Interface; Task Performance and Analysis; Workload; Ergonomics
TL;DR:
A mixed-methods approach was used to assess the fidelity of virtual environments as ergonomic assessment tools for human-robot interaction, and results suggest that people were distracted by the sound of the robot, and that presence was affected by manipulations of immersion and coherence.
