Rebellion and Disobedience as Useful Tools in Human-Robot Interaction Research -- The Handheld Robotics Case

8 May 2022  ·  Walterio W. Mayol-Cuevas ·

This position paper argues on the utility of rebellion and disobedience (RaD) in human-robot interaction (HRI). In general, we see two main opportunities in the use of controlled and well designed rebellion and disobedience: i) illuminate insight into the effectiveness of the collaboration (or lack of) and ii) prevent mistakes and correct user actions when in the user's own interest. Through the use of a close interaction modality, that of handheld robots, we discuss use cases for utility of rebellion and disobedience that can be applicable to other instances of HRI.
