SUMMARY:Perceived Failure Severity of Domestic Robots: Sentiment Analysis 
 of Robotic Vacuum Reviews
DESCRIPTION:Yisrael Parmet and Tal Oron-Gilad (Ben Gurion University of th
 e Negev)\n\nWe examine how nonexpert users perceive the severity of roboti
 c failures by studying vacuum robots as an exemplar of how domestic robots
  integrate into users’ homes. This work enhances the classification of rob
 ot failures using natural language processing models and statistical analy
 sis. Utilizing a coded dataset of 8,306 online customer reviews of robotic
  vacuum cleaners (Honig et al., 2022), we applied RoBERTa (Liu et al., 201
 9), to assess each review's positivity, negativity, and neutrality. Analys
 es showed that failure category (technical, interaction, and service), rev
 iew length, and star rating impacted the sentiments. The positive sentimen
 t score decreased as the number of complaints in the review increased. Fur
 ther, the presence of a failure event reduced the positive sentiment score
 . The impact of technical problems was the greatest. We discuss how sentim
 ent analysis contributes to the understanding of perceived robot failure s
 everity considering the robot’s role and interactivity.\n\nTrack: User Exp
