from Part I - An Introduction to the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human–Robot Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2024
This chapter introduces the construct of anthropomorphism and highlights its relevance for human–robot interaction (HRI) research. This chapter reviews existing definitions of anthropomorphism and distinguishes it from anthropomorphization. It further discusses established theoretical models of anthropomorphism and their respective empirical support (or lack thereof). Moreover, we address consequences of anthropomorphism, especially for HRI. We shed light on different ways to measure anthropomorphism in HRI, discussing advantages and disadvantages of such measurement approaches, respectively. Finally, the present overview offers reflections on the added value of taking into account anthropomorphism and anthropomorphization in HRI research.
