Measurement instruments for the anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety of robots

TLDR
A literature review has been performed on the measurements of five key concepts in HRI: anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety, distilled into five consistent questionnaires using semantic differential scales.
Abstract
This study emphasizes the need for standardized measurement tools for human robot interaction (HRI). If we are to make progress in this field then we must be able to compare the results from different studies. A literature review has been performed on the measurements of five key concepts in HRI: anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety. The results have been distilled into five consistent questionnaires using semantic differential scales. We report reliability and validity indicators based on several empirical studies that used these questionnaires. It is our hope that these questionnaires can be used by robot developers to monitor their progress. Psychologists are invited to further develop the questionnaires by adding new concepts, and to conduct further validations where it appears necessary.

The influence of social media interactions on consumer-brand relationships: A three-country study of brand perceptions and marketing behaviors

TL;DR: This article conducted three studies to explore how individual and national differences influence the relationship between social media use and customer brand relationships and found that engaging customers via social media is associated with higher consumer-brand relationships and word of mouth communications when consumers anthropomorphize the brand and they avoid uncertainty.

Influences on proxemic behaviors in human-robot interaction

TL;DR: It is found that personal experience with pets and robots decreases a person's personal space around robots, and the personality trait of agreeableness decreases personal spaces when people approach robots, while the personality traits of neuroticism and having negative attitudes toward robots increase personal spacesWhen robots approach people.

A technique for the measurement of attitudes

Rensis Likert
TL;DR: The instrument to be described here is not, however, indirect in the usual sense of the word; it does not seek responses to items apparently unrelated to the attitudes investigated, and seeks to measure prejudice in a manner less direct than is true of the usual prejudice scale.

The Measurement of Meaning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the nature and theory of meaning and present a new, objective method for its measurement which they call the semantic differential, which can be adapted to a wide variety of problems in such areas as clinical psychology, social psychology, linguistics, mass communications, esthetics, and political science.

Real-time obstacle avoidance for manipulators and mobile robots

TL;DR: This paper reformulated the manipulator con trol problem as direct control of manipulator motion in operational space—the space in which the task is originally described—rather than as control of the task's corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and geometric transformation.

Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart

TL;DR: Fast and frugal heuristics as discussed by the authors are simple rules for making decisions with realistic mental resources and can enable both living organisms and artificial systems to make smart choices, classifications, and predictions by employing bounded rationality.
