Abstract

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that emotional interaction with a robot mitigates negative impressions toward its appearance. In an experiment, participants were asked to interact with either a good-looking or bad-looking robot and to answer questionnaires to assess their impression of the robots before and after the interaction. The results suggested that intimacy with the bad-looking robot improved after interaction, confirming our hypothesis.
