The Role of Coherent Robot Behavior and Embodiment in Emotion Perception and Recognition During Human-Robot Interaction: Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Social robots are becoming increasingly important as companions in our daily lives. Consequently, humans expect to interact with them using the same mental models applied to human-human interactions, including the use of cospeech gestures. Research efforts have been devoted to understanding users' needs and developing robot's behavioral models that can perceive the user state and properly plan a reaction. Despite the efforts made, some challenges regarding the effect of robot embodiment and behavior in the perception of emotions remain open.

Objective

The aim of this study is dual. First, it aims to assess the role of the robot's cospeech gestures and embodiment in the user's perceived emotions in terms of valence (stimulus pleasantness), arousal (intensity of evo
