Triadic Human-Robot Interaction. Distributed Agency and Memory in Robot Assisted Interactions

Abstract

We argue that the field of human-robot interaction needs a distributed and socially situated understanding of reminding and scheduling practices in the design of robots to meet the needs of people with cognitive disabilities. The results are based on an interaction analysis of video recorded workshop interactions during a co-creation process in which the participants tested a reminder-robot prototype that was designed for and with people with acquired brain injury.
