Selected work
Neyton & One One
Two robots with opposing personalities ask people for help.
About the work
Neyton and One One are robots designed with contrasting personalities. Neyton is persistently unhappy and hostile toward humans, while One One greets people with exaggerated enthusiasm.
Both seek help with tasks. Reben reports that participants were more likely to help Neyton, raising questions about how perceived personality affects a human response to a machine.
