Abstract
Despite the increase of research and applications for child-robot interactions, little is known about childrens responses to a robots gender across age and gender groups. This paper presents an exploratory study intended to examine whether the perceived robots gender affects the interaction between a child and a robot. This paper details the preliminary results of an observational child-centered study with a gendered robot that was conducted in the hall of a residential facility with 24 children. Our findings suggest that children liked playing with the robot of the same gender as them.
