Additional information

<20> This article addresses a key issue in human-robot interaction (HRI) research, studying the impact of robot appearance and behaviour on participants’ views and reactions. Results suggest that non-humanoid robots may be better suited for wider acceptance of robots e.g. as home companions, where users' personality traits play an important role. These results were exploited extensively in the EU projects LIREC and ACCOMPANY, and have also had a wider impact on research into the uncanny valley in monkeys by Shawn Steckenfinger and Asif Ghazanfar at Princeton University, and computational models of the uncanny valley by Roger Moore at Sheffield University.
