Anthropomorphism represents a central theoretical term in social robotics and human robot
interaction (HRI) research. However, the research into anthropomorphism displays several …

Existing methodologies to describe anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction often rely
either on specific one-time responses to robot behavior, such as keeping the robot's secret …

Social robotics and HRI are in need of a unified and differentiated theoretical framework
where, relative to interaction context, robotic properties can be related to types of human …

Autonomous service robots in a public setting will generate hundreds of incidental human-
robot encounters, yet researchers have only recently addressed this important topic in …

The current state of human–machine interaction has set forth a process of hybridization of
human identity. Technology—and most notably AI—is used as an effective cognitive …

This article examines the challenges and opportunities that arise when engaging with
research across disciplines, contributing to the growth of social robotics and artificially …

A single mobile service robot may generate hundreds of encounters with pedestrians, yet
there is little published data on the factors influencing these incidental human-robot …

AI (broadly speaking) as a discipline and practice has tended to misconstrue social
cognition by failing to properly appreciate the role and structure of the interaction itself …

Gender ascription to robots may lead to willingly or inadvertently repeating gender
stereotypes. To reduce this risk, it is important to delineate how gender is spontaneously …

Within human-robot interaction (HRI), research on robot personality has largely drawn on
trait theories and models, such as the Big Five and OCEAN. We argue that reliance on trait …
