Toward psychological benchmarks in the field of human–robot interactionPsychological Benchmarks of Human–Robot Interaction, Kahn, Jr., Peter H. and Karl F. MacDorman (eds.), pp. 363–390 | Article
In this paper, we move toward offering psychological benchmarks to measure success in building increasingly humanlike robots. By psychological benchmarks we mean categories of interaction that capture conceptually fundamental aspects of human life, specified abstractly enough to resist their… read more
