Abstract

Socially assistive robots (SARs) are becoming more prevalent in everyday life, emphasizing the need to make them socially acceptable and aligned with users' expectations. Robots' appearance impacts users' behaviors and attitudes towards them. Therefore, product designers choose visual qualities to give the robot a character and to imply its functionality and personality. In this work, we sought to investigate the effect of cultural differences on Israeli and German designers' perceptions and preferences regarding the suitable visual qualities of SARs in four different contexts: a service robot for an assisted living/retirement residence facility, a medical assistant robot for a hospital environment, a COVID-19 officer robot, and a personal assistant robot for domestic use. Our results indicate that Israeli and German designers share similar perceptions of visual qualities and most of the robotics roles. However, we found differences in the perception of the COVID-19 officer robot's role and, by that, its most suitable visual design. This work indicates that context and culture play a role in users' perceptions and expectations; therefore, they should be taken into account when designing new SARs for diverse contexts., Comment: Submitted to ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI)

Abstract

Robots' visual qualities (VQs) impact people's perception of their characteristics and affect users' behaviors and attitudes toward the robot. Recent years point toward a growing need for Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) in various contexts and functions, interacting with various users. Since SAR types have functional differences, the user experience must vary by the context of use, functionality, user characteristics, and environmental conditions. Still, SAR manufacturers often design and deploy the same robotic embodiment for diverse contexts. We argue that the visual design of SARs requires a more scientific approach considering their multiple evolving roles in future society. In this work, we define four contextual layers: the domain in which the SAR exists, the physical environment, its intended users, and the robot's role. Via an online questionnaire, we collected potential users' expectations regarding the desired characteristics and visual qualities of four different SARs: a service robot for an assisted living/retirement residence facility, a medical assistant robot for a hospital environment, a COVID-19 officer robot, and a personal assistant robot for domestic use. Results indicated that users' expectations differ regarding the robot's desired characteristics and the anticipated visual qualities for each context and use case., Comment: Accepted to the 15th International Workshop on Human-Friendly Robotics

3. Technological Self-Efficacy of Preservice Teachers: The Role of Gender, Origin Area and Major Program

Author

Muhammad Ikhlas and Elmer D. Dela Rosa

Abstract

The massive development of technology requires teachers to be able to utilise technology in the learning process. Self-efficacy has been considered as one of the important factors in explaining teachers' confidence in using technology. This study investigated the technological self-efficacy of preservice teachers and its relationship to gender, origin area, and major program. Quantitative research was conducted in Jambi University, Indonesia involving 122 preservice teachers. Descriptive statistics show that preservice teachers are quite confident in utilising technology for the learning process. Mann-Whitney's U test shows that gender is related to preservice teachers' technological self-efficacy, where males have high self-efficacy than females. On the other hand, origin area and major program are not associated with technological self-efficacy. Discussions and implications are further discussed.

Abstract

The researchers aim to determine Training and development for barangay tanod in response to the Inter-Agency Task Force health protocol during the covid 19 outbreak. Every residence has suffered from the virus since the COVID-19 pandemic at Barangay 178 Camarin Caloocan City. Some of them did not report to work because of the lockdown that the government implemented. The barangay tanod is in charge of implementing the barangay's health protocol because their job includes earning a living, assisting and guiding people, and providing important information about the value of health protocols. This study must determine the importance of training and development for barangay tanod during the covid 19 pandemic. the respondents of this research are the barangay tanod, barangay official and purok leader of Barangay 178 Camarin Caloocan City.   The researchers use the descriptive method, which is a type of research used to describe the characteristics of the population. It collects data to answer the question of what, when and how the question pertains to a particular population or group.   The researcher interviews the barangay official, tanod, and purok leader. The main instrument in this study is the researcher since the information is primarily gathered through interviews. The researcher also tests paper-like questionnaires to collect the data through answer sheets. Questions were in English, but the researchers were there to guide or explain to ensure that the respondents understood the questions and answered the specific item with the purpose of this study.   This study indicated that based on the demographic profile of three respondents,” barangay tanod, barangay officials and purok leaders at Barangay 178 Camarin Caloocan, The majority of the respondents came from the age bracket of 40 and above, male, married and college graduate.in the trainer and lecturer, The purok leader has the highest weighted mean of 4.24, which is very effective.
