Abstract
This chapter presents findings from a user study which investigated users’ perceptions and their acceptability of a Companion and associated ’personality’ which migrated between different embodiments (i.e. avatar and robot) to accomplish its tasks. Various issues such as Companion migration decision, Retention of Companion identity in different embodiments, Personalisation of Companion, users’ privacy and control over the technology are discussed. Authorisation guidelines for Companions regarding migration, accessing an embodiment and the data stored in the embodiment are proposed and discussed for future design of migration Companion.
