Dataset recording for “User-Centered Robot Task and Motion Adaptation for Collaborative Assembly”
This research aims to develop algorithms that adapt robot behavior according to the user’s observed arousal during a collaborative human-robot assembly task. During the experiment, you will be asked to perform assembly tasks in collaboration with a robot while we record your physiological data, including electrodermal activity (EDA), heart rate (HR), and skin temperature (SKT), using a wearable device (research-smartwatch). Our goal is to estimate arousal from these signals in order to adapt robot behavior, such as task sequence, speed, and responsiveness. You will also be asked to complete a self-report after each session to indicate your perceived arousal, as this is essential for training and validating our models.

Important Information:
- Who can participate?
We are looking for adults (over 18 years old) having adequate knowledge of English who are currently not utilizing any medical treatment pertaining to their mental health. - What is expected from you?
The experiment consists of two different parts: an initial pre-screening in which we assess if you meet the inclusion criteria for the experiment. In the second part, you will be provided stimuli through robot actions to elicit various arousal levels. Physiological signals in relation to these arousal levels will be recorded while you perform an assembly task in collaboration with a robot. - Where does the study take place?
The first part (where you confirm that you meet our inclusion criteria) will be done online, so you can do it wherever you like. If you meet the criteria and proceed to the next stage, we will invite you to come to the premises of the university at NOI Techpark (Via Alessandro Volta 13, 39100 Bolzano).
