Perspectives on Agency Interacting with and through Personal Robots

AbstractPersonal robots present opportunities for understanding the ways that people perceive agency-both in-the-moment and reflectively. Autonomous and interactive personal robots allow us to explore how people come to perceive agency of non-human agents. Remote presence and tele-operation systems are expanding our understandings of how people interact through robots, incorporating these systems into their own sense of agency. As such, robotics can inform our understanding of both robotic agency and human agency.KeywordsRobotic SystemHumanoid RobotJoint AttentionSocial RobotRubber HandThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
