Best Paper Award für Nihan Karataş

Den Best Paper Award bei der ICSR 2023 in Qatar erhielt Nihan Karataş für ihr Paper „Robotic-Human-Machine-Interface for Elderly Driving: Balancing Embodiment and Anthropomorphism for Improved Acceptance“ (zusammen mit Takahiro Tanaka, Yuki Yoshihara, Hiroko Tanabe, Motoshi Kojima, Masato Endo und Shuhei Manabe). Sie trug es am 6. Dezember 2023 in der Morgensession vor. Aus dem Abstract: „Encouraging self-awareness among elderly drivers while driving with a passenger has the potential to reduce traffic accidents. Highly anthropomorphic Robotic-Human-Machine-Interfaces (RHMIs) have been shown to be effective in providing safe driving and review support by being perceived as fellow passengers. However, it remains unclear which specific anthropomorphic elements in the RHMI’s appearance are necessary to achieve this effect. Identifying these essential elements for elderly driving could lead to a minimal design approach and reduced installation costs in car dashboards. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of RHMI embodiment and anthropomorphism level on drivers’ acceptability and user experience quality through a series of RHMI prototypes by conducting a crowdsource video experiment and a driving simulator experiment, respectively. The findings provide insights into the design of a low-cost, minimal, and efficient RHMI as a driving agent.“ Das Programm der Konferenz kann hier heruntergeladen werden.
