This paper investigates how the acceptance of data-driven political campaigning depends on four different message characteristics. A vignette study was conducted in 25 countries with a total of 14,390 respondents who all evaluated multiple descriptions ...

Research in affective robotics has been using emotions to improve human-robot interaction. One important aspect has been to design recognizable and believable emotions in robotics. Recent work argued that externally displayed emotions on robots may or ...

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enhance vehicle safety by providing critical information, warning drivers, and automating control tasks to reduce manual operation. However, the acceptability of ADAS is often limited by the human-machine ...

New Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are now available to support urban driving. To adequately use ADAS, especially in complex situations, drivers must comprehend them. An on-road study was conducted to investigate the mental model development ...

Across various research repositories, studies related to AIS are densely populated with those that focus only on AIS adoption in a present sense but are uncharted prior AIS integration and when observed in a causal setting. While digital orientation is a ...

It is generally accepted that MALL has brought positive learning outcomes and served to engage students with effective motivation as it allows learning to take place without the limitation of time and space. As per literature, teacher's role in mobile-...

Generative Artificial Intelligence empowered conversational agents (chatbots) seem to be increasingly used in various settings including education. While student teachers are key stakeholders in supporting and improving education, not many studies ...

Recent trends in human-robot interaction emphasize the importance of user participation to foster acceptance. However, current research overlooks the influence of varying participation levels and lacks insights for non-participating users. We conducted ...

Healthcare robots at home are increasingly essential for promoting the independence of older adults, yet their widespread acceptance is hindered by a lack of clarity regarding optimal design features. To address this, this study employs the Kano model to ...

Collaborative robots have gained popularity in industrial manufacturing due to their flexibility. However, one substantial challenge is to utilize this flexibility human-centered. While there is considerable research emphasis on system-controlled ...

While the use of robots in public spaces is increasing, still few studies explore the resulting everyday human-robot interactions (HRI). The present study sought to bridge the disparity between real-world interactions and the frequently examined ...

Several studies focus on the use of emerging technologies to support and monitor health but are centred around the elderly group of people. Meanwhile, the average elderly popularly known as the middle-aged have not been put into ...

This paper explores the role of explanations in mitigating negative reactions among people affected by AI-based decisions. While existing research focuses primarily on user perspectives, this study addresses the unique needs of people affected by ...

Digital educational games (DEGs) are gaining a lot of recognition in a variety of educational and training contexts, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Since modern-day children are accustomed to digital and gaming ...

Urban air mobility (UAM) has gained increased attention as a promising new solution to tackle issues such as traffic congestion. This study aims to assess users’ perception and usage intentions and identify and weigh success-critical acceptance ...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs; SAE levels 4 and 5) face substantial challenges regarding acceptance and UX. Novel human-machine interfaces (HMIs) providing transparent system information could account for those and facilitate adoption. However, since the ...

This work reports on a preliminary analysis of an ongoing study on adoption of tablet computers (tablets) among older adults. Results indicate that only perceived usefulness and knowledge (a dimension of facilitating conditions) are directly associated ...

An often-forgotten group of people which is heavily affected by loneliness are young adults. The perceived social isolation often stems from attachment insecurities and social skill deficiencies. Since robots can function as social interaction partners ...

As food delivery robots are spreading onto streets and college campuses worldwide, users' views of these robots will depend on their direct and indirect interactions with the robots and their conversations with other people, such as those with whom they ...

Favorable assessments of social robots are addressed in several research and development attempts because positive attitudes and intentions towards technology are regarded as a necessary prerequisite for usage. To predict a favorable evaluation, it is ...
