【 摘 要 】

Robots can assist humans in a wide spectrum of domains (Tapus and Mataric, 2006; Cabibihan et al., 2013), including entertainment, teaching and health care. Since the need for assistance in these areas is steadily growing beyond what is currently possible with human workforce (Ward et al., 2011), research into social robotics is worthwhile. As Bartneck and Reichenbach (2005) pointed out, the general public can be quite skeptical with respect to the introduction of robot assistants in everyday life. For robots to be accepted as assistants, it is consequently important to understand the mechanisms that lead humans to conceive of robots as social companions.
