An Examination of Trust Exhibited by Members of Different Cultures toward Robotic Peacekeepers Wielding Nonlethal Weapons

Abstract

The proposed research supports DoD interests in a number of ways: 1) this research can help in understanding the trust calibration process between humans and machines, 2) this research could help in understanding how human-like features such as behavioral styles, communication patterns, and humanid appearance impact trust, 3) this research can add to our understanding of cultural differences in human-robot interaction, 4) this research will help DoD to understand reactions to non-lethal weapons of different types and attack postures when weilded by robots.
