机器人通过执行智能动作表现出逼真的行为。为了增强人机交互，有必要调查和了解终端用户如何感知这种动画行为。在本文中，我们报告了一个实验，调查人们如何感知不同的设计机器人的体现在动画和智能。iCat和Robovie II被用作该实验中的两个实施例。我们进行了一个主题间的实验，其中机器人类型是自变量，感知的生命力和智能的机器人是因变量。我们的研究结果表明，一个机器人的感知智能显着相关的动物性。在iCat实施例的情况下，观察到机器人的智能和生命力之间的相关性更强。我们的研究结果还表明，机器人的脸越生动，就越有可能吸引用户的注意力。我们还讨论了所获得的结果的可能和可能的解释。
Robots exhibit life-like behavior by performing intelligent actions. To enhance human-robot interaction it is necessary to investigate and understand how end-users perceive such animate behavior. In this paper, we report an experiment to investigate how people perceived different designs of robot embodiments in terms of animacy and intelligence. iCat and Robovie II were used as the two embodiments in this experiment. We conducted a between-subject experiment where robot type was the independent variable, and perceived animacy and intelligence of the robot were the dependent variables. Our findings suggest that a robot's perceived intelligence is significantly correlated with animacy. The correlation between the intelligence and the animacy of a robot was observed to be stronger in the case of the iCat embodiment. Our results also indicate that the more animated the face of the robot, the more likely it is to attract the attention of a user. We also discuss the possible and probable explanations of the results obtained.
