The Cognitive Correlates of Anthropomorphism

While anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction is often discussed, it still appears to lack formal grounds. We recently proposed a first model of the dynamics of anthropomorphism that reflects the evolution of anthropomorphism in the human-robot interaction over time. The model also accounts for non-monotonic effects like the so-called novelty effect. This contribution proposes to build upon...

Anthropomorphism and the social robot

This paper discusses the issues pertinent to the development of a meaningful social interaction between robots and people through employing degrees of anthropomorphism in a robot’s physical design and behaviour. As robots enter our social space, we will inherently project/impose our interpretation on their actions similar to the techniques we employ in rationalising for example, a pet’s behavio...

Anthropomorphism Increases Trust , 1 The Mind in the Machine : Anthropomorphism Increases Trust in an Autonomous

Sophisticated technology is increasingly replacing human minds to perform complicated tasks in domains ranging from medicine to education to transportation. We investigated an important theoretical determinant of people's willingness to trust such technology to perform competently—the extent to which a nonhuman agent is anthropomorphized with a humanlike mind—in a domain of practical importance...

Contribution to the Study of Humanoid Robots Anthropomorphism

Rapid development of humanoid robots brings about new shifts of the boundaries of Robotics as a scientific and technological discipline. New technologies of components, sensors, microcomputers as well as new materials, have recently put up the barriers to real time integrated control of some very complex dynamic systems such as humanoid robots are, which already today possess about fifty degree...

My dear robot – anthropomorphism and loneliness
