Building Rapport with Self-Disclosure in Human-Robot Interaction
Overview
This research investigates the role of robot self-disclosure in fostering rapport during face-to-face human-robot interaction. The authors propose RADIA, a dialogue system leveraging retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to retrieve and reference simulated autobiographical memories for natural first-person self-disclosure. An in-person user study compares interactions with a self-disclosing robot against a baseline non-self-disclosing robot. Results indicate that robot self-disclosure significantly influences conversational dynamics and enhances users' perceived rapport, suggesting it is a valuable social behavior for long-term human-robot interaction.
