Interaction Situation
User and robot are engaged in a game during which the both of them have a common goal and the robot evaluated the user’s actions. The user performs well. To communicate this to the user, the robot makes its resulting positive inner emotional state visible to the user.
Solution
Let the robot express that:
- It directs its attention towards the user using a user-oriented positioning in the room, letting robot and user face each other. (Attentive)
- The outcome of the user’s action was evaluated as positive using an affirmative light, sound or gesture (Indication of correctness).
- It is experiencing happiness by letting it show a gesture or facial expression of joy (Happy).
- Its operation mode is <on> setting the status light to permanently glowing. (Operation mode on)
Related patterns:
Needs: Attentive AND Indication of correctness AND Happy AND Operation mode on
Opposed patterns: all other composed patterns – two composed patterns can never be executed at the same time
