Summary
The article presents results of experiments which test acceptance level of a humanoid robot. We stated that in most cases people have tendencies to anthropomorphize machines, especially humanoid ones. Acting like this is a result of a social bias, so characteristic for our specie. We conducted two experiments in which participants during a poll were in a room with a robot observer, with active face and sound tracking implemented. By analyse of post review questionnaire and time parameters from video recording, we could point out that in some cases participants observed robot’s behaviours which had not taken place, but are quite natural for a human.
