Trust as indicator of robot functional and social acceptance. An experimental study on user conformation to iCub answers

作者：

Highlights：

• We investigate the functional and social acceptance of the iCub robot.

• Trust in the robot is considered as a main indicator of acceptance in decision-making tasks.

• The participants trust more iCub for functional than for social issues.

• Trust in the robot's functional savvy does not seem to be a pre-requisite for trust in its social savvy.

• User-related, robot-related and context-related features are also evaluated: they do not seem to influence the trust in iCub.
