Humanoid Robot Acceptance: A Concise Review of Literature

Abstract

As a relatively new area of study, the field of humanoid robotics is a fascinating topic of discussion. This concise literature review analyzes and discusses the different papers and studies from within the field of humanoid robot acceptance. We look at the different types of robots used in each study, the roles of participants, the cultural acceptance across different countries, and the trends in methodology and technology over the course of the 21st century. Overall, we found that the approach towards the acceptance of humanoid robots must be specialized by taking into account the user's age, gender, culture, and experience with modern technology, among other factors, due to the varying attitudes towards humanoid robots that accompany different human characteristics.
