Description: In this laboratory experiment in a local museum, the effect of introductory information on the evaluation of a collaborative robot (e.g., trustworthiness, predictability and understandability) as well as on the performance of the human-robot team in collaborative game tasks (time to completion and task success) will be explored. We use a mixed reality game specifically designed for this study called "CoBot Studio Clean-Up – Deep Space Edition" in which human participants have to collaborate with a real industrial mobile robot on three different tasks in a fictional virtual reality underwater research station presented in a large-format projection space allowing for highly immersive 3D-experiences. The mixed reality game "CoBot Studio Clean-Up – Deep Space Edition" is a follow-up to the virtual reality game “CoBot Studio Clean-Up” and the mixed-reality study is a replication and extension of the corresponding virtual reality study (osf.io/ju8rs) in a mixed reality contrary to a virtual reality scenario.
