Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators publish new report on Ro botics. According to news reporting originating in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by NewsR x journalists, research stated, "Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is expected to improve construction productivity by integrating robotic capabilities with human expertise. However, the effects of HRC on human emotions are unclear despite th eir critical impacts on human performance during HRC." Financial support for this research came from National Science Foundation (NSF). The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Mic higan, "This paper examined the inter-relationship between robots' parameters, l ike movement speed, and emotional responses, during HRC for a construction task. Eighteen participants were observed as they experience various conditions of ro bots' parameters during a bricklaying task with an arm-type collaborative robot in a laboratory setting. Their brainwaves (i.e., electroencephalogram (EEG) sign als) were monitored using an EEG headset to identify emotional responses. Result s showed significant emotional variations due to robots' parameters, which could affect the estimated productivity of human-robot teams."
