ロボットの目の動的色発光が語り聞かせ時の人の感情認識に与える影響

抄録

We are developing a method of emotion expression with blinking pattern. Our previous study confirmed that emotions expressed by blinking pattern are perceived correctly, and are able to elicit prosocial behavior from those who see the emotion expressions. In the present study, we investigated whether our artificial emotion expression reinforces perceived emotion when people listen to short stories from a robot. Experimental results showed that, for some stories, blinking colored eyes of a robot reinforce the subjective perception of the target emotion and weaken the other emotions.
