“…According to recent research, the embodiment resulting from multi-sensory bodily interactions among individuals has been found to enhance social attitudes, including closeness and empathy, while also reducing racial biases [46,47]. More recently, Zamboni et al proposed that the semblance of life in non-living devices comes from four communicative elements: body, behaviour, setting, and the machine's name [48].…”

Social robotics is an emerging field with a high level of innovation. For many years, it was a concept framed in the literature and theoretical approaches. Scientific and technological advances have made it possible for robots to progressively make their way into different areas of our society, and now, they are ready to make the leap out of the industry and extend their presence into our daily lives. In this sense, user experience plays a fundamental role in achieving a smooth and natural interaction between robots and humans. This research focused on the user experience approach in terms of the embodiment of a robot, centring on its movements, gestures, and dialogues. The aim was to investigate how the interaction between robotic platforms and humans takes place and what differential aspects should be considered when designing the robot tasks. To achieve this objective, a qualitative and quantitative study was conducted based on a real interview between several human users and the robotic platform. The data were gathered by recording the session and having each user complete a form. The results showed that participants generally enjoyed interacting with the robot and found it engaging, which led to greater trust and satisfaction. However, delays and errors in the robot’s responses caused frustration and disconnection. The study found that incorporating embodiment into the design of the robot improved the user experience, and the robot’s personality and behaviour were significant factors. It was concluded that robotic platforms and their appearance, movements, and way of communicating have a decisive influence on the user’s opinion and the way they interact.

Inquiry into the field of artificial intelligence (machines) and its potential to develop consciousness is presented in this study. This investigation explores the complex issues surrounding machine consciousness at the nexus of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy as we delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI) and investigate the intriguing question: are machines on the verge of becoming conscious beings? The study considers the likelihood of machines displaying self-awareness and the implications thereof through an analysis of the current state of AI and its limitations. However, with advancements in machine learning and cognitive computing, AI systems have made significant strides in emulating human-like behavior and decision-making. Furthermore, the emergence of machine consciousness raises questions about the blending of human and artificial intelligence, and ethical considerations are also considered. The study provides a glimpse into a multidisciplinary investigation that questions accepted theories of consciousness, tests the limits of what is possible with technology, and do these advancements signify a potential breakthrough in machine consciousness.
