Original: Why Robots Creeping Up Behind You Feel Faster Than They Really Are
New research suggests robots moving up behind a person are perceived as approaching faster than they actually are, a finding with implications for how machines should move around humans. Researchers say our perception of motion differs depending on the direction of approach, which matters for designing robots that share space with people safely and comfortably.
Why now: Interest in human-robot interaction is growing as robots increasingly operate in shared spaces with people
