Throughout this process, the judgment is influenced by several percepts, first of all the visual similarity to the companion, which triggers a process of self-identification. When the companion is a robot, the lack of these percepts challenges such a self-identification process, unavoidably lowering the level of acceptance. Hence, while, on the one hand, the robotics industry moves towards manufacturing robots that visually resemble humans, on the other hand, a question is still open on whether the accep
