ABSTRACT
In order to inform the design of robotic applications for children, in this paper we describe and report the results of an experiment we conducted in a primary school. Our work investigates the effects of the robot's perceived gender and age on levels of engagement and acceptance of the robot by children across different age and gender groups. Our results show that children across ages relate differently toward perceived robot's age and gender.

Age-related Differences in Children's Associations and Preferences for a Robot's Gender
HRI '18: Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionIn order to establish social and bonding relationships with children, robots need to be able to adapt to a variety of users of different age and gender groups in order to keep them engaged and motivated. To this end, this research examines the responses ...
Exploring the Effects of Robot Gender on Child-Robot Interaction
HRI '18: Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionDespite the increase of research and applications for child-robot interactions, little is known about children»s responses to a robot»s gender across age and gender groups. This paper presents an exploratory study intended to examine whether the ...
Technological and Interpersonal Trust in Child-Robot Interaction: An Exploratory Study
HAI '18: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Human-Agent InteractionThis study aimed to explore technological and interpersonal trust in interactions between children and social robots. Specifically, we focused on whether children distinguish between these two types of trust and whether the two constitute independent ...
