“…Even through the number is still limited, there has been appreciation of ethnography in HRI and social robotics [45][46][47][48][49]. Existing ethnographic studies have examined sociability of robots as home assistants [50][51][52][53][54], caregivers [55][56][57][58], and coworkers [1,27,59], establishing usefulness of the method in understanding the particulars of real-world adaptability of socially intelligent robots.…”

This article is an ethnographic exploration of robot anthropomorphism at a robotics company. It draws on a 10-month participatory ethnography among a robotics company, an anthropologist, and a social robotics research lab. In contrast to psychological methods, this anthropological participatory ethnography integrates all stakeholders' insights, offering holistic understandings of robots' in situ operations throughout the fieldwork, data-sharing, interviews, and analysis. In particular, this article unravels employee social constructions of the company's self-driving factory transport vehicles, "the robots." These robots are deployed across a variety of warehouses and factories in North America. Our results involve an assessment of six teams at the robotics company's headquarters: those testing robots, those developing their hardware and software, and those working with customers. We unpack trends of anthropomorphism for each of these teams and across the company.

“…The GERMS dataset was collected in the context of the RUBI project, whose goal is to develop robots that interact with toddlers in early childhood education environments [13,14,15]. This dataset consists of 1365 video recordings of giveand-take trials using 136 different objects.…”
