In industrial scenarios, there is widespread use of collaborative robots
(cobots), and growing interest is directed at evaluating and measuring the
impact of some characteristics of the cobot on the human factor. In the present
pilot study, the effect that the production rhythm (C1 - Slow, C2 - Fast, C3 -
Adapted to the participant's pace) of a cobot has on the Experiential Locus of
Control (ELoC) and the emotional state of 31 participants has been examined.
The operators' performance, the degree of basic internal Locus of Control, and
the attitude towards the robots were also considered. No difference was found
regarding the emotional state and the ELoC in the three conditions, but
considering the other psychological variables, a more complex situation
emerges. Overall, results seem to indicate a need to consider the person's
psychological characteristics to offer a differentiated and optimal interaction
experience.

通过研究协作机器人的生产节奏对参与者的经验性控制和情绪状态的影响，本研究发现在情绪状态和经验性控制方面没有差异，但考虑到其他心理变量，结果表明需要考虑个人的心理特征以提供差异化和优化的交互体验。
