Research on the Aesthetic Expression and User Experience Mechanism of the Appearance Design of Humanoid Robots

Humanoid robots are increasingly being applied in fields such as service and companionship, and their aesthetic design is crucial for user experience. This study integrates interdisciplinary theories and constructs a framework for evaluating appearance aesthetics, exploring the mechanisms by which aesthetic elements such as form and color interact with user cognition, emotions, and behavioral intentions. Research has found that key aesthetic features such as personification and color metaphors affect user experience through a progressive path of "perception cognition emotion behavior", with emotional response as the core mediator. Ultimately, relevant theoretical models will be constructed to provide theoretical support for optimizing emotional and personalized design of robots, and to help improve user satisfaction and human-machine collaboration efficiency.
