Abstract
A lack of motivation is the most common obstacle for physical activity. Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) can be used to motivate people to workout regularly. However, the embodiment and companionship type can influence user's engagement. We investigated the effects of embodiment (co-present vs. remote-located) and companionship (instructor vs. companion) in a video Human-Robot Interaction (vHRI) study (n=90).
