Research Problem Robotics industry Robotics technology An understanding of
linkage between contribution toward user experiences from
industrial and domestic manufacturing HRIs can inform future
activities hospitality and tourism
research and
management
Research Question Will the robotics Most contributed The findings highlight
industry be one of the technology is industrial the influence of robotic
leading industries in robotics to the embodiment and
future? industry? human-oriented
perceptions on
consumer experiences
Research Objective Encourage interested Give a proper The purpose of this
parties to the robotics understand about study is to explore
industry applications of Robotics consumer reviews with
in the industry and the robotics based on the
brief history of it five dimensions for
evaluating user
experiences (i.e.
embodiment, emotion,
human-oriented
perception, feeling of
security and co-
experience), as derived
from research in
 human-robot
interactions (HRI)
