Abstract

Deception is a common and essential behavior of social agents. By increasing the use of social robots, the need for robot deception is also growing to achieve more socially intelligent robots. It is a goal that robot deception should be used to benefit humankind. We define this type of benevolent deceptive behavior as other-oriented robot deception. In this paper, we explore an appropriate context in which a robot can potentially use other-oriented deceptive behaviors in a beneficial way. Finally, we conduct a formal human-robot interaction study with elderly persons and demonstrate that using other-oriented robot deception in a motor-cognition dual task can benefit deceived human partners. We also discuss the ethical implications of robot deception, which is essential for advancing research on this topic.
