民族文化背景和与机器人的互动之间存在着复杂的关系，许多早期的研究调查了来自不同文化的人如何看待机器人融入社会。相反，很少有研究调查机器人如何说话和使用属于某一民族文化的手势，被不同文化背景的人类所感知。这项工作的目的是证明人类可能更好地接受一个能够适应他们特定民族文化的机器人。这个人机交互的实验是在埃及进行的。参与者（本地埃及人和居住在埃及的日本人）通过模拟视频会议向两个机器人打招呼，并分别用阿拉伯语和日语说话。人类受试者的自发反应以不同的方式进行测量，参与者完成了一份问卷，评估他们的偏好和情绪状态。结果表明，埃及人更喜欢阿拉伯语版本的机器人，而他们在与日语版本互动时感到不适。这些发现证实了在人机交互的背景下，机器人的特定文化定制的重要性。
A complex relationship exists between national cultural background and interaction with robots, and many earlier studies have investigated how people from different cultures perceive the inclusion of robots into society. Conversely, very few studies have investigated how robots, speaking and using gestures that belong to a certain national culture, are perceived by humans of different cultural background. The purpose of this work is to prove that humans may better accept a robot that can adapt to their specific national culture. This experiment of Human-Robot Interaction was performed in Egypt. Participants (native Egyptians versus Japanese living in Egypt) were shown two robots greeting them and speaking respectively in Arabic and Japanese, through a simulated video conference. Spontaneous reactions of the human subjects were measured in different ways, and participants completed a questionnaire assessing their preferences and their emotional state. Results suggested that Egyptians prefer the Arabic version of the robot, while they report discomfort when interacting with the Japanese version. These findings confirm the importance of a culture-specific customisation of robots in the context of Human-Robot Interaction.
