Abstract
In this paper, we describe BuildBot, a robot developed to assist
with continuous integration of a software build in Agile development teams.
BuildBot can interact physically with individual members of the team and be an
active part of the development process by bringing together human-robot
interaction with human group dynamics and knowledge about software engineering
concepts. This paper describes the design and implementation of a robot that
can sense virtual stimuli, in this case the state of a software build, and
react accordingly in a physical way. By increasing awareness of the state of
the software build, BuildBot assists in the self-supervision of teams.
