ABSTRACT
This study explores the effect of the robot's appearance vs. behavior (voice and gestures) on the way it is perceived as a machine-like instead of a human-like robot. A between-subjects experiment with four conditions was conducted. Results suggest that both the robot's behavior and appearance are important but, if they are contradictory, the robot's behavior is more powerful than the robot's appearance in the perception of the robot as more machine-like or human-like.

Human-like Artificial Intelligent Wheelchair Robot Navigated by Multi-Sensor Models in Indoor Environments and Error Analysis
Intelligent mobile robot navigation in indoor environments is still a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method in which the wheelchair robot imitates human like navigation by interacting with the surrounding environments. Two types of sensor data ...
Robot Catching: Towards Engaging Human-Humanoid Interaction
Our focus is on creating interesting and human-like behaviors for humanoid robots and virtual characters. Interactive behaviors are especially engaging. They are also challenging, as they necessitate finding satisfactory realtime solutions for complex ...
