The question put forward in this paper is whether robots can create conformity by means of group pressure. We recreate and expand on a classic social psychology experiment Solomon Asch, so as to explore three main dimensions. First, we wanted know prompt human subjects, there significant difference between the degree which individuals conform opposed humans. Secondly ask pressure (from or robot peers) exert influence verbal judgments, analogously visual judgments that known from previous...
In this study, we set out to ask three questions. First, does lexical entrainment with a robot interlocutor persist after an interaction? Second, how the influence of social robots on humans compare each other? Finally, what role is played by personality traits in robots, and other humans? Our experiment shows that first, can indeed prompt persists interaction over. This finding interesting since it demonstrates speakers be linguistically influenced robot, way not merely motivated desire...
In this article, we discuss the results of an experiment designed to test boundaries linguistic imitation in a group setting. While most prior work has focused on convergence either sound structure or syntax, investigate whether speakers’ choices verb morphology are influenced by others. The uses Asch-type peer pressure methodology. Participants give responses target stimuli verbal and visual task human peers, robots, alone. These demonstrate that morphological conformity occurs, but it is...
Reciprocity is a cornerstone of human relationships and apparently it also appears in human-robot interaction independently the context. It expected that reciprocity will play principal role HRI future. The negative side reciprocal phenomena has not been entirely explored interaction. For instance, act such as bribery between Humans robots very novel area. In this paper, we try to evaluate questions: Can robot bribe human? To what extent bribing affect his/her response? We performed an...

Robots are able to influence the usage of human language even after interaction between and robot has ended. Humans each other in words, hence, robots they program indirectly affect development our society’s vocabulary. Most human–robot studies focus on one interacting with human. Studying dynamic a group humans is difficult requires considerable resource. We therefore conducted social simulation communication network based real-world human–human network, allowing us study how centrality...
More and more people suffer from chronic health issues related to posture lack of movement in their office work. We developed a novel approach motivate employees be physically active during Our focuses on using the social characteristics NAO robot platform deliver cues for motivation. Like coworker who is very motivated exercise, we used invite do short "micro-exercises" along with NAO. This has multiple advantages when compared conventional notification systems. pilot study shows that found...
