The ontological and functional status of robots: How firm our representations are?
作者：
Highlights：
• We investigate teenagers’ robot representation (ontological and functional status).
• We observe whether such representation changes with acquaintance to robots.
• The ontological categorization of robots becomes more nuanced.
• The functional categorization of robot stays more strictly defined.
• No third ontological category seems to emerge.
