Dear RoboCup community,

I do research on robot design and sympathy for some years now. My interest arose from RoboCup, where I conducted several surveys in Magdeburg at German Open and at the RoboCup World Cup 2016 in Leipzig.

Currently, I am starting a survey for my PhD, which aims to uncover likability trends in the design evaluation of robots. The survey is quadrilingual and includes a colorful selection of robots with linked background information. For the evaluation I need as much data as possible and would like to invite you to participate. As a result the taste of future users should be revealed and for this the comparison between experts and non-experts is also very important.

You are welcome to forward the link below to the survey with the text outside the community as well.

*_Can service robots support us in our everyday lives and what should they look like?_*

This is the question addressed by the Robot Design and Sympathy study. Whether you have direct experience with service robots or not, you are invited to rate a colourful selection of robot models. Please take 15-20 minutes to participate in the online survey.
