Identity of socially interactive robotic twins: Initial results of VHRI study

The paper refers to the issue of robot companion being able to migrate between different embodiments. The main attention is focused on the case when two or more companions can share the same embodiment. It is shown that some behavioural characteristics can be significant in the process of recognition of the companion's identity. The results are based on a video based experimental study. Animations for this study were prepared using a dedicated software.
