Abstract

The movement patterns of robots can affect user trust, acceptance, and emotional reactions during interaction. Several principles used in the animation discipline provide promising avenues for designing robot movement. We test the principles of anticipation, ease, exaggeration, and speed. Results show that people expect robots to move quickly, slow movement increases fear. This study also find that moderate levels of exaggeration can increase trust and decrease fear.
