机器人界长期存在的一个问题是机器人在与人类互动时应该具有多少与人类相似的程度。我们探讨了这个问题的一个未经检验的方面：人们如何对拟人化的机器人产生共鸣。我们进行了一项基于网络的实验（n = 120），测量人们对四种遭受人类虐待的不同机器人的同情程度。我们的研究结果表明，人们对看起来更人性化的机器人有更强的同情心，而对机械式机器人的同情心则更弱。我们还发现，一个人的一般同理能力对于表达对机器人的同理心没有预测价值。
A long-standing question within the robotics community is about the degree of human-likeness robots ought to have when interacting with humans. We explore an unexamined aspect of this problem: how people empathize with robots along the anthropomorphic spectrum. We conducted a web-based experiment (n = 120) that measured how people empathized with four different robots shown to be experiencing mistreatment by humans. Our results indicate that people empathize more strongly with more human-looking robots and less with mechanical looking robots. We also found that a person's general ability to empathize has no predictive value for expressed empathy toward robots.
