Research Matters
Examining non-human agents, such as non-embodied artificial intelligence systems, chatbots and autonomous robots, requires many choices when it comes to theories and methods.
Anthropomorphism
The research project Interactions with Artificial Humans comprises several studies in which assumptions of anthropomorphism play a significant role.
The Wizard-of-Oz approach
The current state of non-human agents, such as robots, is that many are unable to do all the things that a researcher wants them to do in a study. One way to deal with this is the Wizard-of-Oz approach.
Measuring participants' reactions
We humans can react to non-human agents in copious ways, and this is mirrored in research on robots, chatbots and virtual agents: a wide range of reactions are indeed measured.
