Awareness of human´s subjective efficiency in collaborative HAI situation

Our study aims to determine how an agent should be designed to perform cooperative work smoothly. From previous experiments, it has been suggested that a human does not acknowledge an agent as a real participant. We considered how we could confirm the above possibility with a cognitive experiment. We designed an experiment with a game format to determine whether subjects would acknowledge an agent´s action and existence if the experimental situation presents mutual purpose and timing of entities. The results of our experiment clearly show that work efficiency improves by the agent´s behavior. The results of these experiments will influence the model of Human-Agent Interaction in the future.
