Abstract EN

Social attributes of intelligent robots are important for human-robot systems.

This paper investigates influences of robot autonomy (i.e., high versus low) and group orientation (i.e., ingroup versus outgroup) on a human decision-making process.

We conducted a laboratory experiment with 48 college students and tested the hypotheses with MANCOVA.

We find that a robot with high autonomy has greater influence on human decisions than a robot with low autonomy.

No significant effect is found on group orientation or on the interaction between group orientation and autonomy level.

The results provide implications for social robot design.
