Abstract
Subtle aspects of a robot’s appearance may create biased expectations of the robot’s abilities, which may influence user acceptance. The present research investigated the perception of gender in robot design, focusing specifically on the proportion between chest, waist, and hips to indicate robot gender. We did so by conducting an online survey in Latin American context. The results highlight the importance of chest-to-hip ratio and waist-to-hip ratio in gender attribution and mind attribution to robots.
