A Three-Dimensional Space of Humanlike Appearance

Our empirical research (currently under review) has taken a feature-based, data-driven approach to decompose the vague concept of humanlike appearance. Based on a systematic analysis of 251 real-world robots in the ABOT Collection, we have found that looking "humanlike" is far from a unitary construct; instead, humanlike appearance has three distinct dimensions—Body-Manipulators, Face, and Surface—each consisting of a unique constellation of human appearance features.

Guidelines for Authorized Usage

To use the ABOT Database in intended and authorized ways, please follow these guidelines:


  • (1) Cite the HRI'18 paper for any use of the images or the ratings (human-likeness scores and feature-present scores) in the database. These images have been edited by our research team for standardization purpose.
  • (2) When using the images and scores, please specify the version of the list you are relying on.
  • (3) Contact us directly to obtain additional data associated with the robots (such as each robot's feature-present scores).

By clicking the button below, you indicate that you accept the guidelines and are ready to download an Excel file containing information about 200 robots in the ABOT Database (current version: 05/20/2018).
