Does the Correspondence Bias Apply to Social Robots?: Dispositional and Situational Attributions of Human Versus Robot Behavior

Results demonstrated some differences in the global impressions of humans and robots based on behavior valence and choice, and implications of attributing robot behavior to disposition, or conflating robot actors with their actions, are addressed.

The Doors of Social Robot Perception: The Influence of Implicit Self-theories

Understanding people’s perceptions and inferences about social robots and, thus, their responses toward them, constitutes one of the most pervasive research themes in the field of Human–Robot…

The Persistence of First Impressions: The Effect of Repeated Interactions on the Perception of a Social Robot

The Persistence of First Impressions: The Effect of Repeated Interactions on the Perception of a Social Robot and evidence that perceptual differences between robots with varying levels of humanlikeness persist across repeated interactions is found.

Children's Responding to Humanlike Agents Reflects an Uncanny Valley

It is found that, like adults, children were most averse to highly humanlike robots (relative to less human like robots and humans), but, unlike adults,Children's aversion did not translate to avoidance and indicates that the valley effect manifests well before adulthood.

Half Day Workshop on Mental Models of Robots

A future in which robots can automatically detect and correct inaccurate mental models held by users is envisioned, with a multidisciplinary vision for the next few years of research in pursuit of that future.

I'm Not Playing Anymore! A Study Comparing Perceptions of Robot and Human Cheating Behavior

It was found that the robot was perceived as less warm, competent, agentic, and able to experience than the human, which could be attributed primarily due to the inherent human-like difference in agents.

Robot Career Fair: An Exploratory Evaluation of Anthropomorphic Robots in Various Career Categories

Robots are being used in a host of different work environments currently. However, to date there has been very little broad exploration into the designs of systems and how that affects users’…

Robot Errors in Proximate HRI

Advancements within human–robot interaction generate increasing opportunities for proximate, goal-directed joint action (GDJA). However, robot errors are common and researchers must determine how to…

Robot Authority in Human-Machine Teams: Effects of Human-Like Appearance on Compliance

The implication of this study is that robots are currently inferior to humans when it comes to compliance in a human-machine team and future robots need to be carefully designed in an authoritative way if maximizing compliance to their requests is the primary goal.

Embodiment and Human-Robot Interaction: A Task-Based Perspective

This work further test the hypothesis that physical embodiment has a measurable effect on performance and impression of social interactions and demonstrates that participants felt that an embodied robot w as more appealing and perceptive of the world than non-embodied robots.

Priming Anthropomorphism: Can the credibility of humanlike robots be transferred to non-humanlike robots?

iCub was more credible than Scitos G5, and was the only robot to benefit from the use of social gaze, and it was found that the credibility of the Scito G5 was higher after participants were `primed' by prior exposure to the iCub.

To Err is Human(-like): Effects of Robot Gesture on Perceived Anthropomorphism and Likability

When the robot used co-verbal gestures during interaction, it was anthropomorphized more, participants perceived it as more likable, reported greater shared reality with it, and showed increased future contact intentions than when the robot gave instructions without gestures.

Do people hold a humanoid robot morally accountable for the harm it causes?

To investigate this question, 40 undergraduate students individually engaged in a 15-minute interaction with ATR's humanoid robot, Robovie, which culminated in a situation where Robovie incorrectly assessed the participant's performance in a game, and prevented the participant from winning a $20 prize.

Perception of Robot Smiles and Dimensions for Human-Robot Interaction Design

The effects of the uncanny valley and the use of iconicity and its relationship to the self-other perceptive divide are discussed, as well as abstractness and realism, classifying existing designs along these dimensions.

Persuasive Robotics: The influence of robot gender on human behavior

Men were more likely to donate money to the female robot, while women showed little preference, and subjects tended to rate the robot of the opposite sex as more credible, trustworthy, and engaging.

How people anthropomorphize robots

Those who interacted with the robot interviewer tended to anthropomorphize more in the post-task survey, suggesting that as people interact more with robots, their abstract conceptions of them will become more anthropomorphic.

Social categorization of social robots: anthropomorphism as a function of robot group membership.

These findings document that people even apply social categorization processes and subsequent differential social evaluations to robots and anthropomorphize it more strongly than the out-group robot.

Anthropomorphic Interactions with a Robot and Robot–like Agent

People’s physical embodiment and presence increase their salience and importance. We predicted people would anthropomorphize an embodied humanoid robot more than a robot–like agent, and a collocated…
