Summary

Social robots present a novel category of socially interactive technology. There is increasing interest in how people behave toward social robots, how robots can change human behaviors, and what are the factors that influence this interaction. This is a complex relationship between the robot’s physical embodiment, social behaviors, and capabilities, and also the human factor. There are differences in how people behave toward robots and this chapter takes a look at the role of an individual’s cultural background and the factors interwoven with what we generally define as culture, and how those are a factor in holistically understanding how robots are perceived.
