Understanding anthropomorphisation in social robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses different approaches to anthropomorphism in social robotics. While anthropomorphisation in robotics is often understood as the human tendency to perceive robots as humanlike in response to stimuli provided by machines, the authors argue that it is also an interpretative process which is highly subjective and limited in duration. To project human characteristics onto robots means to attribute qualities that robots do not have. Thus, in order to understand the nature of user engagement in human-robot interaction, it is of crucial importance to have a clear understanding of anthropomorphism in the field of social robotics.

How A.I. and multi-robot systems research will accelerate our understanding of social animal behavior
Our understanding of social insect behavior has significantly influenced A.I. and multi-robot systems’ research (e.g. ant algorithms and swarm robotics). In this work, however, we focus on the opposite question, namely: “how can multi-robot systems research contribute to the understanding of social animal behavior?.” As we show, we are able to contribute at several levels: First, using algorith...

متن کاملThe Impact of Autonomy and Reasoning on Social Roles for Robotics
In human social systems, roles are a key mechanism for social interaction and integration. In particular, they are instrumental in allowing humans to operate in a variety of different social contexts. This article surveys the sociological understanding of roles, their use by software agents, and the nascent literature of role-based robotics. The survey suggests that robots can use social roles ...
متن کاملEmbodied Conversational Agents: Effects on Memory Performance and Anthropomorphisation
It is often assumed that the use of Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) in human-computer interfaces improves human-computer interaction. Because of their appearance and because they show human-like communicative behaviour, users tend to ascribe human characteristics to ECAs or anthropomorphize them. Since interacting with another human being comes natural to people, anthropomorphisation of...
