Towards a design method for expressive robots

Autonomous robots tend to induce the perception of a personality through their behavior and appearance. It has been suggested that the personality of a robot can be used as a design guideline and as a mental model of the robot. We propose a method to design and evaluate personality and expressions for domestic robots.
