'If you sound like me, you must be more human': On the interplay of robot and user features on human-robot acceptance and anthropomorphism

Eyssel FA, Kuchenbrandt D, Bobinger S, de Ruiter L, Hegel F. 'If you sound like me, you must be more human': On the interplay of robot and user features on human-robot acceptance and anthropomorphism. In: Yanco H, ed. Proceedings of the 7th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI2012), Late Breaking Report. New York, USA: ACM; 2012: 125-126.In an experiment we manipulated a robot's voice in two ways: First, we varied robot gender; second, we equipped the robot with a human-like or a robot-like synthesized voice. Moreover, we took into account user gender and tested effects of these factors on human-robot acceptance, psychological closeness and psychological anthropomorphism. When participants formed an impression of a same-gender robot, the robot was perceived more positively. Participants also felt more psychological closeness to the same-gender robot. Similarly, the same-gender robot was anthropomorphized more strongly, but only when it utilized a human-like voice. Results indicate that a projection mechanism could underlie these effects

Minimal group - maximal effect? Evaluation and anthropomorphization of the humanoid robot NAO

Kuchenbrandt D, Eyssel FA, Bobinger S, Neufeldt M. Minimal group - maximal effect? Evaluation and anthropomorphization of the humanoid robot NAO. In: Mutlu B, Bartneck C, Ham J, Evers V, Kanda T, eds. Social Robotics. Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Vol 7072. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer; 2011: 104-113.How can we increase acceptance and anthropomorphism of robots? In an experiment with N = 45 participants, we tested whether categorizing the humanoid robot NAO as an in-group member vs. an out-group member would result in more positive evaluations and higher levels of anthropomorphism of the robot NAO. Results fully support our hypotheses. Moreover, the present findings also indicate that sharing in-group membership with NAO led to greater willingness to interact with robots in general
