Movement Predictability Outweighs Robot Appearance in Fear-Relevant Responding During First Encounters Between Older Adults and Social Robots

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study investigated whether robot embodiment, movement predictability, or postural configuration is the principal determinant of fear-relevant responding during first encounters between older adults and social robots. It addressed the research question: Which robot design characteristics most strongly influence subjective and physiological fear-relevant responses during initial huma...
