What is anthropomorphic energy what are two possible purposes for this type of Art?

Art installations involving robotic artifacts provide an opportunity to examine human relationships with robots designed solely for the purpose of sustaining evocative behaviours. In an attempt to determine the behavioural characteristics and personality traits attributed by a human to a robotic artifact, we investigated an audience’s experience of an installation that presented three robotic artifacts moving autonomously in an exhibition space. In order to describe the audience’s experience, we present two studies that revealed the psychological attributions spontaneously produced from observing the robots, and visitors’ physical exploration patterns inside the exhibition. We propose a psychological profile for the artwork, and a tentative organization for the attribution process. Using a cluster analysis performed on visitors’ trajectories inside the installation, we highlight four different exploration and interaction heuristics characterized by patterns of approach or withdrawal, passive observation and exploration. Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities.[1] It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology.2
