The human tendency to anthropomorphize is a widely known phenomenon and has long been a main factor in social robot design, as it would seem that robots whose design encourages anthropomorphism are accepted more easily in human-robot-interactions Because of this, many social robots are designed to have some human-like traits. This human preference has been documented in several studies on HRI that focus on social robots communication–a particularly important feature, considering that it is key to their social acceptance and thus ability to succeed in whatever task they were designed for. Not only do people show a general preference for spoken language over mechanical sounds (Sims et al. 2009, 18), but they also trust autonomous devices such as self-driving cars more when their voice has anthropomorphic features, such as a name or gender (Waytz, Heafner & Epley 2014, 19).However, this higher acceptance for anthropomorphic robots is not universal. Instead, people show a preference for robots’ design to be matched to their task. While it is important for a social robot to have human-like features, an industrial robot may be thought of in a different manner and thus does not appear to need to look human in order to be deemed acceptable for their task by a human observer (Goetz, Kiesler & Powers 2003, 16)
