Configurable Anthropomorphic Robot to Assess Threat-Modulation of Trust in Machine Agents

Abstract

Since this award enabled the procurement of the RoboThespian humanoid robot system, we have elaborated the linguistic and behavioral capacities of the robot for use in research on the influence of apparent human social characteristics on human-robot interaction under contexts of threat. Related achievements have been made with regard to developing VR threat simulations, a VR avatar of the robot, and significant modifications of the program RESCHU for use in an ongoing program of research with this robot system.
