The research leading to this publication has been carried out in the framework of the project SERA (Social Engagement with Robots and Agents, http://project-sera.eu), funded by the European Community’s seventh Framework Programme [FP7/2007-2013] under grant agreement no. 231868.
abstract: Companions as interfaces to smart rooms need not only to be easy to interact with, but also to maintain long-term relationships with their users. The FP7-funded project SERA (Social Engagement with Robots and Agents) contributes to knowledge about and modeling of such relationships. One focal activity is an iterative field study to collect real-life long-term interaction data with a robotic interface. The first stage of this study has been completed. This paper reports on the set-up and the first insights.
