By controlling the movement of the internal weight during the time when the robot speaks out messages received from a human sender, we hypothesize that the psychological state of a receiver who holds the robot can be affected (for example, he\/she will listen to the messages more seriously).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>So, the big idea here is that the robot reads your text messages aloud and then offers an opinion on how you should feel about the message. All while moving a weight around inside its body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That might not strike you as the be-all-end-all cure for social toxicity, but the researchers claim it reduces anger and revenge texting:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>Results showed that introducing weight shifts together with the robot speech suppressed on average 23% of the user\u2019s anger. However, only 3.5% of the anger was suppressed when the weight shifts were not applied. Additionally, in cases where the robot showed empathy to the user in words with weight shifts, the user\u2019s revenge urge was successfully reduced by 22%. There was almost no effect confirmed when the weight shifts were not applied.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>We could get into the details concerning how the team conducted the study wherein they arrived at these results, but the gist of it is that they asked people how they felt after holding a wiggly robot and pretending to hear angry texts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the study participants, holding the robot while hearing negative texts made them feel less angry.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1145\/3313831.3376775\" alt=\"A weird comic about a robot from a research paper\" width=\"754\" height=\"395\" class=\"js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/files\/Articles\/790209\/frobt-09-790209-HTML\/image_m\/frobt-09-790209-g001.jpg\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fneural%2F2022%2F03%2F10%2Fthis-tiny-robot-supposed-stop-you-revenge-texting%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: This is from the research paper.\" data-title=\"Share This is from the research paper. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share This is from the research paper. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>This is from the research paper.<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1145\/3313831.3376775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/files\/Articles\/790209\/frobt-09-790209-HTML\/image_m\/frobt-09-790209-g001.jpg\" alt=\"A weird comic about a robot from a research paper\" width=\"754\" height=\"395\" class=\"\" srcset=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p><span>That actually makes a lot of sense.
