Insights on embodiment induced by visuo-tactile stimulation during robotic telepresence

Abstract Using a simple neuroscience-inspired procedure to beam human subjects into robots, we previously demonstrated by visuo-motor manipulations that embodiment into a robot can enhance the acceptability and closeness felt towards the robot. In that study, the feelings of likeability and closenes...
