The Influences of Looking Behavior on the Trustworthiness of a NAO Robot

Abstract

There are many aspects of a robot that can influence its trustworthiness. This thesis will focus on the influences of looking behavior and task performance on the trustworthiness of a NAO robot. Two experiments were done. In the first experiment only movie stimuli of a NAO robot were used. In the second experiment a real NAO robot was used. Results show that task performance influences the trustworthiness the most. Also a small influence of looking behavior on trustworthiness was found in the first experiment.
