Robot Personality Design for an Appropriate Response to the Human Partner

This paper discusses the importance of modeling personality for social robots. While human-liked features (such as voice, gestures, and postures) are well-studied in social robotics, developing robots with personality traits is still very much in its infancy. In this paper, we show and argue the importance of embodying personality in the robot’s behavior so as to provide a more natural interaction and a more appropriate feedback to the human partner.
