Abstract:
The main characteristics of service robots are their human-centered working environment and their non-expert users. Therefore, service robots need to exhibit human robot interaction that lets users feel comfortable in order for them to accept these robots at home. In this research, we propose a concept of a kitchen assistant robot supporting people in completing stressful cooking tasks. The stressful cooking tasks in this study are also verified to gain the understanding of the applicability of service robots in a wider sense. For the proposed concept a prototype of the kitchen assistant robot is constructed which consists of a robot arm and a control device Myo gesture armband. 18 university students experienced the prototype by completing the stressful tasks and gave feedback by answering questionnaires. This study investigates the usability and users' acceptance of the kitchen assistant robot.
