Robots approaching from behind seem faster, experiments show
Original: Robots approaching from behind are perceived as moving faster, experiments reveal
New experimental findings indicate that people perceive robots approaching from behind as moving faster than they actually are. The research, reported by TechXplore, suggests human perception of robotic motion is distorted depending on the direction of approach, a factor that could matter for designing robots that move safely around people in shared spaces.
Why now: Fresh research on human-robot interaction is being picked up in science and technology coverage.
