Legible and Intuitive Multi-modal Robot State and Intent Communication Validated in Online and Real-world Studies

arXiv:2606.24445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective robot-to-human communication can increase transparency and trust, reduce uncertainty, and contribute to safer collaboration in shared workspaces. Designing and validating an effective robot communication strategy is challenging due to the varying and often limited communication modalities across robots, differences in how diverse recipients interpret messages, and the underexplored virtual-to-real gap in studies of communication legibilit...
