Metrics Design of Usability and Behavior Analysis of a Human-Robot-Game Platform

As an innovative technological challenge, creating and designing metrics to evaluate communication between human-robot-game interaction will benefit children’s education. In humans, facial expressions or emotions are pervasive forms of communication for interaction between people. When people are trying to establish communication deploying robots and game-based learning, which are growing in popularity, expectations are that these forms of relationship will become a means through which interaction is a common tool. Although it is intuitive for a regular human being to vary their expressions and emotions, their interpretation through metrics, or results of using the game as a form of learning, is a complex task that must be carried out. This paper explains the proposed design and usability metrics testing children’s use of a human-robot-game platform, identified as LOLY-MIDI. This platform promotes inclusive education, primarily those children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
