Robopsychology is the study of the personalities and behavior of intelligent machines. The term was coined by Isaac Asimov in the short stories collected in I, Robot, which featured robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin, and whose plots largely revolved around the protagonist solving problems connected with intelligent robot behaviour.[1][2][3] The term has been also used in some academic studies from the field of psychology and human–computer interactions,[4] and it refers to the study of the psychological consequences of living in societies where the application of robotics is becoming increasingly common.[5]
