Abstract

Entrainment during collaboration positively affects trust, willingness to collaborate, and likeability towards collaborators. In this workshop paper, we present a mixed-method lab study to investigate characteristics of successful entrainment leading to group-based temporal synchronisation. Inspired by industrial work, we developed a fast-paced, short-cycle repetitive task. Using motion tracking, we investigated entrainment in both dyadic and triadic task completion. Initial findings are related to different leader-follower patterns, the importance of the point-of-assembly, and the value of sensory information. Based on these findings we hope to inform robotic behaviour for improved human-robot collaboration.
