Abstract

Vasey, E., FakhrHosseini, M. S., Zheng, Z., Park, C.-H., Howard, A., Jeon, M. Development and Usability Testing of a Remote Control App for An Interactive Robot. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, vol. 61, 1: pp. 808-812. First Published September 28, 2017. (Original DOI: 10.1177/1541931213601695) Please note that this article published with errors. The differences are in the first paragraph in the Related Works section. In the published version, it reads: The remote operation of robots using mobile applications has been successfully implemented in other experiments. Trigo and Brown [10] developed an app for Android and iOS to help teachers remotely control a Nao robot to assist in teaching children with intellectual disabilities.This app relied on an external server using the Python programming language and could make Nao change its posture and gesture, walk, ask pre-recorded questions, as well as execute several pre-stored dance routines. An evaluation was done using a think-aloud protocol with several teachers, and overall feedback was positive. However, this app neither allowed for creation of new animations within the app, nor did it allow for teachers to record their own sets of phrases, questions, or motions. The new version reads (differences in bold): The remote operation of robots using mobile applications has been successfully implemented in other experiments. Trigo and Brown [10] developed an app for Android and iOS to help teachers remotely control a Nao robot to assist in teaching children with intellectual disabilities. This app could make Nao change its posture and gesture, walk, ask user-defined questions as well as execute several pre-stored dance routines. An evaluation was done using a think-aloud protocol and a questionnaire with several teachers, and overall feedback was positive. However, this app did not allow for creation of new animations within the app or for teachers to record their own motions (M. Trigo, personal communication, October 31, 2017).
