Robots are projected to enter many areas of our personal and professional lives. People often perceive them as a threat to their jobs and identity. This may include realistic threats, such as losing jobs, as well as threats to the identity of being human. Highly realistic humanoids challenge our understanding of what makes us human. The goal of this project is to develop and test measurement instruments that can be used to assess and monitor how people respond to the developments in the area of robotics and AI.
