Long-Term Feedback Mechanisms for Robotic Assisted Indoor Cycling Training

We present a concept for long-term feedback during robot assisted indoor cycling training. Our feedback model captures different aspects from sport motivation theory. Furthermore, we present our designed measurements to evaluate the robot's persuasiveness and user's compliance. We conducted an intensive 18-day isolation study in two campaigns (e.g. socially assistive robot vs. display instructed, n=16) in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center. The results show that users tend to comply to the robot's instructions and that there is a significant difference in compliance between the two conditions.
