from Part II - Issues and Concerns for Human–Robot Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2024
This chapter on Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) focuses on the ways humans respond to and interact with social robots. It begins by delineating recent research into HRI and the factors influencing user interaction with social robots. The main interest of the chapter is on anthropomorphism, that is, the observed human tendency to assign human traits and characteristics to technology, and the implications this has for robot design. After critically analyzing anthropomorphic robot design and its implications for HRI, the chapter discusses the role of ethics in shaping the development of technology in general and social robots in particular. From the European Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI – human agency, transparency, communication, and individual and societal well-being are presented here as concepts and principles of importance for the design of present and future social robots.
