    Keywords : human-robot interaction; speculative design; humanoid; robot ethics; animation; HCI;

    Abstract : Robotics engineers' ongoing quest to create human-like robots has raised profound questions on their lack of ethical implications. The rapid progress and growth of humanoid robots is said to have a significant impact on society and human psychology in the near future. READ MORE

  2. 7. A pondering robot : How gestures can indicate loading in robots

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Linette Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Waiting while computers and websites process and load information is a common occurrence and research shows that loading indicators can be used to elevate the user experience. Research on loading time for humanoid robots has so far mainly focused on the effects of auditory processing indicators or auditory processing indicators in combination with bodily gestures.
