Matching robot appearance and behavior to tasks to improve human-robot cooperation

Jennifer Leah Goetz, Sara B. Kiesler, Aaron Powers • IEEE RO-MAN (2004)

A robot's appearance and behavior provide cues to the robot's abilities and propensities. We hypothesize that an appropriate match between a robot's social cues and its task improve the people's acceptance of and cooperation with the robot....
