KANSEI Communication of Man and Robot

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to make the conversation-model that can reduce stress by talking about worry and complaining with the robot. Today the robot which runs and talks with people is actively studied, but there are no robots to reduce stress. However stress is overflowing now. People have various methods of reducing such a social stress because we want to live without any stress, which are for example, singing a song, doing sports, and eating delicious meal. Then we might feel refreshed after you talk about your worry with familiar person. So we thought whether the conversation with robot led to the stress reduction. We suggest the conversation-model of the robot which there has never been. The university students were targeted on the conversation and talked about worry and complaining with the robot each other. As a result of the experiment, the excellent feeling profile was obtained. Then, it is shown that their stresses were reduced.
