Perceptual Features of Everyday Human-Robot Interaction Situations: Experience of Experimental Research

This study is an attempt to reveal the peculiarities of people's perception of integration of intelligent systems in everyday situations. This aspect is especially acute for materialized neosocial subjects, namely the so-called social robots. At the moment robotics, including social robotics, is going through a period of rapid development and demand, but there are inevitably fears in society that robots will at some point uncontrollably retrain and get out of human control. The pandemic, which is still actual, played a special role in accelerating robotization: during it any work involving interaction with people was regarded as dangerous, which led to the expansion of the scope of use of robots as an alternative to people. Accordingly, the question arises: what socio-cultural and situational features of the relationship between a robot and a person can hinder their effective and comfortable interaction? In this study the method of factorial survey will be tested using vignettes as a stimulus material. Of particular interest for the study are factors affecting the perception of interaction between a person and a materialized social robot in everyday situations: the appearance of the robot, the structure of its speech and the situational context of the interaction.
