This paper compares the outcome of three human-robot interaction studies using three different robot types in two different countries, Japan and Australia, and shows significant differences in the way people perceive the robots based on appearance alone, andbased on appearance and behavior after a short interaction.
Abstract
During first encounters and short-term interaction with robots, the robot's appearance and initial behavior plays a major role. In this paper we compare the outcome of three human-robot interaction studies using three different robot types in two different countries, Japan and Australia. The participants' perception of an android robot, a humanoid robot and a non-biomimetic robot are compared before and after interacting with the robots. The experimental results show significant differences in the way people perceive the robots based on appearance alone, and based on appearance and behavior after a short interaction.

Understanding anthropomorphism in service provision: a meta-analysis of physical robots, chatbots, and other AI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a comprehensive model to investigate relationships between anthropomorphism and its antecedents and consequences, and found that the impact depends on robot type (i.e., robot gender) and service type (e.g., possession processing service, mental stimulus processing service).

What is Human-like?: Decomposing Robots' Human-like Appearance Using the Anthropomorphic roBOT (ABOT) Database

TL;DR: New light is shed on what makes a robot look human, and the ABOT (Anthropomorphic roBOT) Database is introduced, which makes publicly accessible a powerful new tool for future research on robots’ human-likeness.

A Systematic Review of Attitudes, Anxiety, Acceptance, and Trust Towards Social Robots

TL;DR: The findings suggest that people generally have positive attitudes towards social robots and are willing to interact with them, which may challenge some of the existing doubt surrounding the adoption of robotics in social domains of application.

Social Robots Are Like Real People: First Impressions, Attributes, and Stereotyping of Social Robots

TL;DR: Social robots as discussed by the authors are autonomous physical embodiments (i.e., they exist in the real world not just on a screen), and they communicate with humans via social behaviors (e.g., speech, gestures, and movement) that mimic human interactions that are linked with particular social roles that a robot might play.
