Expectations towards two robots with different interactive abilities

Latest research in robotics is driven by a desire to develop systems that would allow humans to interact with robots in natural and intuitive ways. In this paper we investigate peoples' initial believes, expectations and ascribed mental capabilities of a robot when they encounter it for the first time and how these change after interacting with the robot. The differences between two robots, which differ in morphology and behavior, are compared.
