The Influence of Robot Traits on User Needs and their Attitude towards Robots
Description
The analysis of robot traits and their influence on HRI shows a trend towards positive user reaction to lifelike or biomorphic robot appearance and behavior. This thesis aims to further analyze the influence biomorphic robot traits have not only in the short-term, while an interaction is taking place, but also how it affects users’ attitude towards robots in general. To test this, users will carry out a task with two robots that differ greatly in their biomorphic qualities.
