Surveying Adult Perceptions of Privacy and Attitudes towards Social Robots in the Home

Abstract

This work introduces a survey questionnaire about adult perceptions of privacy, attitudes, and comfort with robots in different spaces in the home. Additionally, in the survey, adult comfort was considered with the preconception that children would share information with robots and other third parties. As for the structure of the survey, it includes likert-style questions, multiple choice, and open responses for qualitative explanations of participant comfort in different situations. In this paper, we give more details about the survey, preliminary qualitative results, and suggestions for further use. We hope this work brings light to the importance of studying privacy concerns in the home with all family stakeholders.
