Software and code for the research project: Interdependence and Communication Style in Human-Agent/Robot Teamwork

This repository was used to conduct an experiment with the aim of studying the effects of interdependence and robot communication style on human-robot teamwork. Human participants were presented with a virtual (urban search and rescue inspired) task and robot. Robot communication style varied between participants while interdependence between human and robot varied within participants. The goal for the human-robot team was to search and rescue all victims as soon as possible. We wanted to gain insights into the following:

• How does robot communication style influence human-robot teamwork?

• How does interdependence between human and robot influence human-robot teamwork?

• How does interdependence influence the relationship between robot communication style and human-robot teamwork?
