Abstract [en]
In this paper, we present an exploratory study of the use of tangible implicit probes to gauge the user's social engagement with a robot. Our results show that users' paying attention to the robot's implicit probes is related to higher social engagement, but also that introducing implicit probes can lead to a more positive interaction with a robot. As we observed that users in our study started paying more attention to the implicit probes after they had encountered them, the need for careful design to capture changes in social engagement over time is justified here. Finally, we discuss some of the user recommendations to design better implicit probes.
