Abstract

In an experiment, we tested whether anthropomorphism would reduce psychological stress associated with human-robot interactions (HRI). Participants anticipated (vs. did not anticipate) an interaction with a humanlike versus machinelike robot type, and their electrodermal activity (EDA), a physiological indicator of psychological stress, was measured. Results indicate that anticipating an HRI increased psychological stress independent of robot type.

How anthropomorphism affects empathy toward robots
HRI '09: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human robot interaction

A long-standing question within the robotics community is about the degree of human-likeness robots ought to have when interacting with humans. We explore an unexamined aspect of this problem: how people empathize with robots along the anthropomorphic ...
Priming Anthropomorphism: Can the credibility of humanlike robots be transferred to non-humanlike robots?
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction

We investigated the perceived credibility of statements made by robots, hypothesising that people are more likely to believe robots with humanlike characteristics than those that are less anthropomorphic. We also examined whether prior experience with a ...
Finding “H” in HRI: Examining Human Personality Traits, Robotic Anthropomorphism, and Robot Likeability in Human-Robot Interaction

The study examines the relationship between the big five personality traits (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) and robot likeability and successful HRI implementation in varying human-robot interaction (HRI) ...
