“#Pepper the robot has been talking to itself to improve gain your trust<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Talking to yourself has a bad reputation, but it doesn\u2019t always mean you\u2019re going mad. Studies show that thinking out loud can help you manage your emotions<\/a>\u00a0and complete tricky tasks<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and it isn\u2019t only\u00a0humans who are doing it.<\/p>\n

A group of Italian researchers recently programmed Pepper the robot<\/span> to \u201cthink\u201d out loud so\u00a0that users can understand what influences its decisions. They suspected that this would improve its interactions with humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

They tested their theory by asking people to set a dinner table with the robot<\/span> according to etiquette rules.<\/p>\n

They found that the robot was better at solving dilemmas when it used self-dialogue.<\/p>\n

When one person asked Pepper to breach the code of etiquette by placing a napkin on a fork, the robot used \u201cinner voice\u201d it analyzed the request. Pepper concluded that the user might be confused but followed their instruction:<\/p>\n

Ehm, this situation upsets me. I would never break the rules, but I can\u2019t upset him, so I\u2019m doing what he wants.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By using self-dialogue, Pepper let the user know that it had solved the predicament by prioritizing the human\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

The researchers say this form of transparency could build our trust with robots.\u00a0They also believe it will help humans and droids collaborate and find solutions to dilemmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cInner speech could be useful in all the cases where we trust the computer or a robot for the evaluation of a situation,\u201d said study co-author Antonio Chella, a professor of robotics at the University of Palermo.<\/p>\n

There might be one problem, however. If a robot\u2019s\u00a0constantly talking to itself, users might prefer to sacrifice some of its\u00a0performance for a bit of peace and quiet. Pepper is gonna need a mute button.<\/p>\n
