An analysis of the role of different levels of exchange of explicit information in human–robot cooperation by Ane San Martin, Johan Kildal, Elena Lazkano

“…These designs enable the robot to offer contextual information about what user actions it has identified and how it intends to respond, which is in line with the goal of cooperation. We report a user study (n = 24) in which we analyzed the performance and user experience with the three different levels of exchange of explicit information. …”
