Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an exploratory research on the proxemics behavior occurring during child-robot interaction. Due to the increase in usage of NAO robots in child environments and applications, it is increasingly important to design an appropriate model for proximate interaction for children of different age groups. For this purpose we conducted an exploratory study »in the wild» inviting 26 children. Our main findings indicate that proximity depends on age. Future work is needed to understand the factors that influence child-robot proxemics.
