Experiencing the familiar, understanding the interaction & responding to a robot proactive partner

This is the 2^d stage of a study on the familiar during HRI. We demonstrated the interest of better understanding the human experience of the familiar for an adapted and successful HRI. Here, we explore the relation between experiencing the familiar, understanding the robot´s engaging actions, and reacting to them. We look at participants´ response to 3 non verbal actions of NAO. The analysis uses the participants´ answers to a questionnaire, their decisions to react or not to the robot´s actions and motion data.
