How do we feel when a robot dies? Emotions expressed on Twitter before and after hitchBOT's destruction (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, K. C., Zeller, F., Smith, D. H., Mohammad, S. M., & Rudzicz, F. (2019, June). How do we feel when a robot dies? Emotions expressed on Twitter before and after hitchBOT's destruction. Presented at Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment and Social Media Analysis,, Minneapolis, Minnesota

In 2014, a chatty but immobile robot called hitchBOT set out to hitchhike across Canada. It similarly made its way across Germany and the Netherlands, and had begun a trip across the USA when it was destroyed by vandals. In this work, we analyze the...
