Cover Story: Current trends in cyber–physical system design include devices with robotic hands capable of performing manipulation and grasping tasks. These devices can be used for enabling robotic communication via sign language. This paper measures how end-users feel about interpreting sign language represented by a humanoid robot as opposed to subtitles on a screen. Stemming from this dichotomy, dactylology, basic vocabulary representation, and end-user satisfaction are the main topics covered. The experiments were performed using TEO, a humanoid robot developed at the University Carlos III de Madrid, via representations in Spanish Sign Language, with a group of deaf and hearing-impaired participants.
