| contents | This paper presents an experimental platform for studying intentional-state attribution toward a non-humanoid robot. The system combines a simulated robot, realistic task environments, and large language model-based explanatory layers that can express the same behavior in mentalistic, teleological, or mechanistic terms. By holding behavior constant while varying the explanatory frame, the platform provides a controlled way to investigate how language and framing shape the adoption of the intentional stance in robotics. |
