ADioS: Angel and Devil on the Shoulder for Encouraging Human Decision Making

Abstract

“Angel and Devil” expression has been used to cause a dilemma in various animations and comics. In this video demo, we implemented this expression with multiple robots. We supposed a scene in daily life, a student carrying a backpack and two robots riding on both shoulders to encourage the student to make decisions. This research concept can be the novelty use case of personal AI robots. In future works, the decision-making methodologies suggested by behavioral economics, such as nudging and boosting, can adopt to human-robot interaction by using multiple robots.
