- Fong et al. (in [2]) proposed four types of social robots due to their appearance: Anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, caricatured, and functional robots.
- Studies emphasized that human-likeness has an impact on understanding nonverbal communication. Therefore an anthropomorphic appearance in robot design is highly valued since it may provide a better interaction with users
- Recent studies showed that older adults’ perceptions about a robot’s appearance were more likely to be shaped by their expectations than by past experiences with such technology [6].
