text: In developmental research, tutoring behavior has been identified as scaffolding
infants' learning processes. It has been defined in terms of child-directed speech
(Motherese), child-directed motion (Motionese), and contingency. In the field
of developmental robotics, research often assumes that in human-robot interaction
(HRI), robots are treated similar to infants, because their immature cognitive
capabilities benefit from this behavior. However, according to our knowledge,
it has barely been studied whether this is true and how exactly humans alter their
behavior towards a robotic interaction partner. In this paper, we present results
concerning the acceptance of a robotic agent in a social learning scenario obtained
via comparison to adults and 8-11 months old infants in equal conditions. These
results constitute an important empirical basis for making use of tutoring behavior
in social robotics. In our study, we performed a detailed multimodal analysis
of HRI in a tutoring situation using the example of a robot simulation equipped
with a bottom-up saliency-based attention model. Our results reveal significant
differences in hand movement velocity, motion pauses, range of motion, and eye
gaze suggesting that for example adults decrease their hand movement velocity
in an Adult-Child Interaction (ACI), opposed to an Adult-Adult Interaction (AAI)
and this decrease is even higher in the Adult-Robot Interaction (ARI). We also
found important differences between ACI and ARI in how the behavior is modified
over time as the interaction unfolds. These findings indicate the necessity of
integrating top-down feedback structures into a bottom-up system for robots to
be fully accepted as interaction partners.
