The test at a glance
Living Worlds put a robot into its crowd and predicted how close real people came to a real robot, in a room where visitors carried boxes, buckets and large objects, on two recording days nobody here had opened. With the robot on its recorded path, its people's closest approach to the robot was nearer the real one than for a crowd blind to the robot and for people who ignore it, in 7 of 8 recordings. Registered before the data was read; scored once. Data: THÖR-MAGNI, cited with thanks.
