Glasgow study compares face and voice styles for pet-like social robots

University of Glasgow researchers used augmented reality to try five face styles and five sounds on a Qoobo robot with 24 volunteers. Animal-like and anime faces scored equally well, faces conveyed emotion better than voices, and pet owners leaned towards animal designs; the work was presented at the MobileHCI conference.
