A Simple Nod of the Head: The Effect of Minimal Robot Movements on Children's Perception of a ...
summary
A semi‑spherical low‑anthropomorphic robot with a single panning degree of freedom executes two minimal behaviors: social-gaze movement (shifting to track the child) and deictic-gaze movement (shifting toward task objects). A 2x2 video study with n=72 children shows social gaze alone raises perceived animacy and likeability, deictic gaze raises perceived helpfulness, and the combined behaviors produce the highest animacy and helpfulness ratings, demonstrating simple motion can reliably convey agency and referential intent.
