Thanks to Damasio's studies, it is now recognised that human beings emotions not only affect but are mandatory for advantageous decision-making and social world comprehension.
In this research, we experimentally aim to study the interactions of humans with a "social robot" (i.e. an android able to prove emotions), and which features of robots can affect individual choices. In particular, we aim to study which features of the social robot are important to increase human trust.
