性别是人们组织自己的一个主要特征。之前的研究表明，人们往往会不知不觉地将性别归因于机器人的化身特征。然而，机器人并不一定被不同的人归因于相同的或任何的性别。事实上，机器人可能会被归因于非人类性别，或者被用作“无性别”的替代品。这为机器人的性别中立概念奠定了基础：既不是男性也不是女性，而是介于两者之间，甚至超越性别的某个地方。为了响应将性别作为机器人学研究中心的呼声，我们提供了一个框架，用于进行开放式的生活审查，并随着工作的出现定期更新。值得注意的是，我们提供了一个开放的、正式的提交过程和开放的访问数据集，用于研究机器人的性别中立。这种建立共识的新颖和及时的方法预计将为在人类-机器人相互作用研究的其他关键问题上开展类似的努力铺平道路。
Gender is a primary characteristic by which people organize themselves. Previous research has shown that people tend to unknowingly ascribe gender to robots based on features of their embodiment. Yet, robots are not necessarily ascribed the same, or any, gender by different people. Indeed, robots may be ascribed non-human genders or used as “genderless” alternatives. This underlies the notion of gender neutrality in robots: neither masculine nor feminine but somewhere in between or even beyond gender. Responding to calls for gender as a locus of study within robotics, we offer a framework for conducting an open living review to be updated periodically as work emerges. Significantly, we provide an open, formalized submission process and open access dataset of research on gender neutrality in robots. This novel and timely approach to consensus-building is expected to pave the way for similar endeavours on other key topics within human-robot interaction research.
