TL;DR: It is suggested that interactive robots should be intelligent and exhibit an agreeable attitude to maximize its perceived animacy.

Abstract: Robots can exhibit life like behavior, but are according to traditional definitions not alive. Current robot users are confronted with an ambiguous entity and it is important to understand the users perception of these robots. This study analyses if a robot's intelligence and its agreeableness influence its perceived animacy. The robot's animacy was measured, amongst other measurements, by the users' hesitation to switch it off. The results show that participants hesitated three times as long to switch off an agreeable and intelligent robot as compared to a non agreeable and unintelligent robot. The robots' intelligence had a significant influence on its perceived animacy. Our results suggest that interactive robots should be intelligent and exhibit an agreeable attitude to maximize its perceived animacy.

Implicit Attitudes Towards Robots Predict Explicit Attitudes, Semantic Distance Between Robots and Humans, Anthropomorphism, and Prosocial Behavior: From Attitudes to Human–Robot Interaction
TL;DR: The present study introduces an implicit measure of attitudes towards robots, and demonstrates a link between implicit semantic distance between humans and robots and explicit attitudes towards Robots, explicit semanticdistance between robots and humans, perceived robot anthropomorphism, and pro/anti-social behavior towards a robot in a real life, interactive scenario.

TL;DR: The authors investigated obedience to an authoritative robot and found that half of participants will continue to perform a tedious task under the direction of a robot, even after expressing desire to stop, and the robot's perceived authority status may be more strongly correlated with obedience.

Virtue and Vice in Our Relationships with Robots: Is There an Asymmetry and How Might it be Explained?
TL;DR: This paper argues that conflicting intuitions about virtuous behaviour and immoral relationships with robots may be reconciled by drawing on further claims about the nature of virtue and vice and the moral significance of self-deception.

How to Use Virtue Ethics for Thinking About the Moral Standing of Social Robots: A Relational Interpretation in Terms of Practices, Habits, and Performance
TL;DR: The paper concludes that this approach does not only give a better account of what happens when people behave “badly” towards social robots, but also suggests a more comprehensive virtue ethics of technology that is fully relational, performance-oriented, and able to not only acknowledges but also theorize the temporal and bodily dimension of virtue.

- 03 Jun 2019
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic literature review of human-robot trials, pilots, and evaluations that have applied techniques from animation to move a robot is presented, showing that animation techniques improve an individual's interaction with robots, improving the individual's perception of qualities of a robot, understanding what a robot intends to do, and showing the robot's state or possible emotion.

TL;DR: This personal historical article traces the development of the Big-Five factor structure, whose growing acceptance by personality researchers has profoundly influenced the scientific study of individual differences.
Perceptual causality and animacy
TL;DR: This research suggests that just as the visual system works to recover the physical structure of the world by inferring properties such as 3-D shape, so too does it work to recovery the causal and social structure ofThe world by inference properties suchAs causality and animacy.

Who is afraid of the humanoid? investigating cultural differences in the acceptance of robots
TL;DR: A preliminary exploration of several aspects of the Japanese culture and a survey of the most important myths and novels involving artificial beings in Western literature try to shed light on particular cultural features that may account for contemporary differences in the authors' behavior towards humanoids.
