Autonomous social robots are real in the mind's eye of many

Nathan Caruana, Emily S. Cross

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Clark and Fischer's dismissal of extant human-robot interaction research approaches limits opportunities to understand major variables shaping people's engagement with social robots. Instead, this endeavour categorically requires multidisciplinary approaches. We refute the assumption that people cannot (correctly or incorrectly) represent robots as autonomous social agents. This contradicts available empirical evidence, and will become increasingly tenuous as robot automation improves.
