Abstract

Participants taking cover from a simulated earthquake interacted with a search-and-rescue robot that paid attention either to them or to the environment, and that they thought was either controlled by a person or autonomous. In general, the robot elicited the strongest positive responses when it focused on participants who thought they were interacting with a person.
