When stereotypes meet robots: The double-edge sword of robot gender and personality in humanrobot interaction
We investigated the effect of role stereotypes on user acceptance of social robots. People respond to social robots based on gender and personality stereotypes in a role. People more easily accepted robots that were in line with their existing stereotypes. A social robot is neither a solely affective nor functional product. In-role robot personality, compared to gender, was more influencing on user responses.
