Abstract

Trust in Human-Robot Interaction becomes more important as robots are emerging in the domestic environment. This thesis is focused on the influence of a previous encountered robot on how a second robot is perceived and especially how it influences the trustworthiness of the second robot. Both the influence of how well the first robot performs the task and the fluency of movements during the task of the first robot are being examined. Fur this purpose, an experiment showing two movie clips of a robot to the participants is conducted, followed by a questionnaire to obtain the opinion of the participants about the robot shown second. The fluency of movement of the first robot was contrasted in judgement of trustworthiness of the second robot. In other words, if the first robot did not move fluently, the second robot was judged to be more trustworthy than if the first robot moved fluently. Contrary, how well the task is performed by the first robot was unexpectedly assimilated in judgement of trustworthiness of the second robot. Put differently, if the first robot performed badly, the second robot was judged to be less trustworthy than if the first robot performed well.
