Zusammenfassung
This paper explores the perception of robots in public spaces through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) simu- lations. As robots become increasingly integrated into daily life, understanding how the public perceives them is crucial for their successful deployment. This study aims to compare the effective- ness of VR and AR in simulating public spaces to study these per- ceptions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted surveys and interviews within VR and AR settings to gather quantitative and qualitative data on participants’ attitudes and reactions toward robots. Our findings reveal significant differences in perception be- tween the two simulation methods, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each. The study provides insights into the implica- tions of robotics in public spaces and offers recommendations for future research and practical applications.
