48 +We explored the concept of human agent teamwork and how shared memory models and transactive memory systems are used to achieve common goals. We understood that performing a joint activity requires inter-predictability, common ground, and directability, and the theory of mind plays a role in attributing agency characteristics to self-moving objects. We also describe how situation awareness and coordination in teams are crucial for task management in high-risk domains.

50 +We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a conversational robot in improving the mood and enjoyment of patients with dementia during meal times. The hypothesis was that a more interactive robot would create a more immersive and enjoyable storytelling session, which would motivate patients to finish their meal enthusiastically. The study involved 14 participants and was conducted using a within-study design, where each participant performed a story session with the robot and then reported our evaluation through a questionnaire.

52 +The questionnaire used for evaluation was based on the Godspeed questionnaire, modified to test the patient's mood and enjoyment of the story. The study included two types of storytelling sessions: an experiment scenario, where the robot narrated the story and asked questions to spark conversations, and a control scenario, where the robot narrated the story and enacted conversations via voice modulations to portray different characters. The participants took on the role of the patient, while the team members played the roles of the formal caretaker and family member.

54 +The results of the study showed that the conversational robot significantly improved the patient's mood and perceived it to be more natural and responsible, and they liked it more than the non-conversational robot. The patients also reported enjoying the conversational robot's storytelling more than the non-conversational robot's. Furthermore, all three of the study's added questions were significant, proving that conversational robots improved the patient's mood in comparison to non-conversational robots.

57 +
58 +I presented our project along with my teammates, Simran and Tim, starting with a recap of the problem scenario and personas, and then explaining the design scenario based on theories. We elaborated on their experiment and control scenarios, followed by their evaluation procedure and results, and concluded with takeaways and limitations. We received feedback on our evaluation questionnaire and statistical analysis, which we have incorporated into our XWiki report. The final presentation included a recap, use cases (TDP and IDP), evaluation method, and final results, and it was a fulfilling team experience where everyone played our roles in achieving the final outcome.
