What is it about?
This study explores the social dynamics of human-robot interaction (HRI) using the Method of Empathy-Based Stories (MEBS). The findings underscore the situated nature of HRI, suggesting that successful interaction depends less on a robot’s “real internal states” and more on its capacity to align with normative expectations of context and practice.
