Preferences and perceptions of robot appearance and embodiment in human-robot interaction trials

The work described in this paper was conducted within the EU Integrated Projects COGNIRON ("The Cognitive Robot Companion") and LIREC (LIving with Robots and intEractive Companions) and was funded by the European Commission under Contract numbers FP6- 002020 and FP7-215554.
