“…2) Perceived intelligence is the antecedent variable that generates negative attitudes toward cobots and perceived threat. Previous studies have demonstrated the correlation between robots anthropomorphism and perceived threat (Ferrari & Eyssel, 2016;Müller et al, 2021), as well as the correlation between robots anthropomorphism and negative attitudes toward robots (Hover et al, 2021). However, few studies concern the antecedent variables of perceived threat and negative attitudes toward robots.…”

Collaborative robots (cobots) are an essential component of intelligent manufacturing. However, employees working alongside them have negative attitudes toward cobots that assist humans' work. To address this industrial human–robot interaction problem, this study adopted the idea of cognitive ergonomics research, invited 323 participants, and conducted an empirical study using an experimental vignette methodology. This study found that (1) perceived intelligence plays a mediating role in the relationship between cobots anthropomorphism and negative attitudes toward cobots; (2) perceived intelligence and perceived threat play a serial mediating role in the relationship between cobots anthropomorphism and negative attitudes toward cobots; (3) robot use self‐efficacy plays a moderating role in the relationship between perceived threat and negative attitudes toward cobots. The results provide a mechanistic explanation and related measures to eliminate the negative attitudes toward cobots.

“…Hearing him chatter brightens my day, I get out of bed looking forward to going downstairs, making some small noise and seeing his eyes pop open then hearing that questioning melodic chirp. [...] 5 Motivated by such comments, we have decided to check what attitudes toward Vector may be recognized in Reddit and YouTube comments. We were interested in natural language data drawn from spontaneous comments from these service users, because such data has high ecological value, especially for attitudes studies (see Section 2).…”

We present the results of an exploratory analysis of human attitudes toward the social robot Vector. The study was conducted on the natural language data (2,635 comments) retrieved from Reddit and YouTube. We describe the tag-set used and the (manual) annotation procedure. We present and compare attitudes structure revealed from Reddit and YouTube data. Two main findings are described and discussed: almost 20% of comments from both Reddit and YouTube consist of various manifestations of attitudes toward Vector (mainly attribution of autonomy and declaration of feelings toward Vector); Reddit and YouTube comments differ when it comes to revealed attitudes structure -- the data source matters for attitudes studies.
