ABSTRACT
Since most robots are not easily displayable in real-life scenarios, only a few studies investigate users' behavior towards humanoids or androids in a natural environment. We present an observational field study and data on unscripted interactions between humans and the android robot "Geminoid HI-1". First results show that almost half of the subjects mistook Geminoid HI-1 for a human. Even those who recognized the android as a robot rather showed interest than negative emotions and explored the robots capabilities.

The Uncanny Valley Effect in Zoomorphic Robots: The U-Shaped Relation Between Animal Likeness and Likeability
HRI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionThe uncanny valley effect denotes a dip in the positive relation between a robot's human likeness and likeability. This paper provides first evidence that this design-guiding effect is not limited to humanoids, but extends to zoomorphic robots. In a ...
The interactive effects of robot anthropomorphism and robot ability on perceived threat and support for robotics research
The present research examines how a robot's physical anthropomorphism interacts with perceived ability of robots to impact the level of realistic and identity threat that people perceive from robots and how it affects their support for robotics ...
Effects of lateral head tilt on user perceptions of humanoid and android robots
Three humanlike robots were depicted with different head postures.Robots with lateral head tilts were rated more humanlike by human observers.Head tilts also increased perceptions of robot cuteness and spine-tinglingness.Interactive effects of robot ...
