Interaction Situation
User and robot are engaged in a game where the both of them act as opponents. The user performs well, which causes a conflict with the robot’s goals during the game. To communicate this to the user, the robot makes its resulting negative 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 dissatisfied by letting it show a corresponding gesture or facial expression (Gloomy).
- Its operation mode is <on> setting the status light to permanently glowing. (Operation mode on)
Related patterns:
Needs: Attentive AND Indication of correctness AND Gloomy AND Operation mode on
Opposed patterns: all other composed patterns – two composed patterns can never be executed at the same time
