ANTHROPOMORPHISM OF ROBOTIC FORMS: A RESPONSE TOAFFORDANCES?

摘要

Participants rated robotic forms on three scales: p perceived aggression, intelligence, anderceived animation. The robot bodies varied along five dime dimensions: Types of edges (beveled or nsions: squared), method of movement (wheels, legs, spider legs, or treads), number of movement generators (2 or 4), body position (uprigh upright or down), and presence of arms t (present or absent). Across ratings, movement meth method and presence of arms were the od strongest predictors of participant perceptions. L Legs and arms, both human egs characteristics, were associated with more positive attributions. Minimal affectivecharacteristics, as displayed by the body design, a are important in user perceptions of usere and ability.
