N2 - The interaction of Older adults with robots requires effective feedback
to keep them aware of the state of the interaction for optimum
interaction quality. This study examines the effect of different
feedback modalities in a table setting robot assistant for elder care.
Two different feedback modalities (visual and auditory) and their
combination were evaluated for three complexity levels. The visual
feedback included the use of LEDs and a GUI screen. The auditory
feedback included alerts (beeps) and verbal commands. The results
revealed that the quality of interaction was influenced mainly by the
feedback modality, and complexity had less influence. The verbal
feedback was significantly preferable and increased the involvement of
the participants during the experiment. The combination of LED lights
and verbal commands increased participants' understanding contributing
to the quality of interaction.
