| Abstract | A robot’s appearance and behavior provide cues to the robot’s abilities andpropensities. We hypothesize that an appropriate match befween a robot’s social cues andits task will improve people’s acceptance of and cooperation with the robot. In an experiment, people systematically prefeved robots for jobs when the robot’s humanlikeness matched the sociability required in those jobs. In two other erperiments, people complied more with a robot whose demeanor matched the seriousness of the task |
