Journal Article
Robot occupations affect the categorization border between human and robot faces
2023
Overview
The Uncanny Valley hypothesis implies that people perceive a subjective border between human and robot faces. The robot–human border refers to the level of human-like features that distinguishes humans from robots. However, whether people’s perceived anthropomorphism and robot–human borders are consistent across different robot occupations remains to be explored. This study examined the robot–human border by analyzing the human photo proportion represented by the point of subjective equality in three image classification tasks. Stimulus images were generated by morphing a robot face photo and one each of four human photos in systematically changed proportions. Participants classified these morphed images in three different robot occupational conditions to explore the effect of changing robot jobs on the robot–human border. The results indicated that robot occupation and participant age and gender influenced people’s perceived anthropomorphism of robots. These can be explained by the implicit link between robot job and appearance, especially in a stereotyped context. The study suggests that giving an expected appearance to a robot may reproduce and strengthen a stereotype that associates a certain appearance with a certain job.
