  Personality has been identified as a vital factor in understanding the
quality of human robot interactions. Despite this the research in this area
remains fragmented and lacks a coherent framework. This makes it difficult to
understand what we know and identify what we do not. As a result our knowledge
of personality in human robot interactions has not kept pace with the
deployment of robots in organizations or in our broader society. To address
this shortcoming, this paper reviews 83 articles and 84 separate studies to
assess the current state of human robot personality research. This review: (1)
highlights major thematic research areas, (2) identifies gaps in the
literature, (3) derives and presents major conclusions from the literature and
(4) offers guidance for future research.
