The Role of Physical Interference Modes in Robotic Service Failures: Implications for Customer Comfort and Desired Service Outcomes

Funder: The Marketing Trust
Duration: August 2023 - May 2024

This research uniquely aims to demonstrate how various modes of interference by humans and other robots result in key desirable outcomes for practitioners: how comfortable the customer feels and how favourable customers perceive the service robot. Specifically, we aim to understand customer attitudes and comfort levels when a service fails due to human versus robot interference, and whether customer aggression affects these outcomes.
