We replicate and extent previous findings, showing that people perceive soft robots as less competent and human-like, but more physically warm.

These differences also drive the perceived suitability of these robots for different educational contexts, tasks, and learners 👩🏼‍🏫📚

(2) It's been so much fun to combine our expertise in building #robots and thinking about how we can introduce #SoftRobots to #education contexts!📚👧🏽

If you want to learn more about this cool project, come join our talk at RoboSoft in late April! 👀

Yes, same here!! I'm also so glad I've finally made the jump but so far neither linked in nor bluesky can live up to what we had on Twitter 🥲

Uff same here! Fingers crossed for both of us that this will change again 🥴🤞🏻

I love the idea that $1/year might be that threshold. Paying for a lifetime subscription to Twitter would be cheaper than one round in the pub and still not worth it.

Uff okay that sounds complex! I thought there's just going to be some button to create one 😂 good tip!

@ruudhortensius.bsky.social so far I didn't come across an HRI feed, did you? If there isn't one yet should we create one? Not even sure how that works 🤔

Awwww you're too kind! 🤩🧡🤖 Thought it was time to move. Happy to be here and be so warmly welcomed by an ERC GRANT WINNER! 👀💥 Let's make this space cool and full of #HRI!

Same for me! 🙁
