Current Challenges for UX Evaluation of Human-Robot Interaction

• The development of socially interactive robots is expected to have anincreasing importance in everyday life for a growing number of people. For social robots to provide long-term added value to people’s lives, it is of major importanceto stress the need for developing a positive user experience (UX). The human-centered view emphasizes various aspects including acceptance, usability,and credibility, as they emerge in the interaction between humans and robots. In current human-robot interaction (HRI) research, UX is reckoned to be important,but is often taken for granted. However, a positive user experience does not appearby itself but has to be systematically designed and evaluated. In this paper, we focus on the role and relevance of UX in HRI and present three challenges related to the evaluation of UX in interaction with robots, addressing the need for interdisciplinary research in order to achieve long-term success of socially interactive robots.
