Based on the initial elicitation of industry-relevant requirements, three collaborative games - two virtual reality environments and one mixed reality environment - were created and used for human-robot teamwork studies with a total of nearly 250 participants. 

Special thanks to all the people who participated in the studies and thus made a valuable contribution to this research initiative!

Research Game 1 is a sequence of small game-based tasks performed by players in predefined selection and a number of repetitions. The backdrop against which the three game-based tasks are set is a fictitious factory where rubber ducks are produced, packaged and shipped. The survey for Game 1 was conducted between September and November 2020 at the LIT Open Innovation Center at the JKU. 122 people participated.

The framing story for research game 2 and research game 3 is a fictional setting around an underwater research laboratory where a novel process for cleaning the oceans of plastic waste is being tested. Submarines collect plastic from the polluted ocean. The player is located on the maintenance and refueling platform for such a submarine. The task in collaboration with the robot is to produce fuel from algae and to tank a submarine with it. The survey for game 2 was conducted in July 2021 with 42 participants at the LIT Open Innovation Center at JKU.

The game 3 experiment with the physically present robot CHIMERA was conducted in April and June 2022 in the Ars Electronica Center's Deep Space. 61 persons participated.
