Abstract
This paper investigates how people attribute the individuality of autonomy on a remote manipulated robot. In order to explore this issue, an experiment was conducted that the participants remotely manipulated the "keeper robot" by wireless controller to defend and keep its goal from the "kicker robot". The participants were assigned two types of experimental conditions. The participants assigned to the first experimental condition looked through video capturing motion of the "kicker robot" from behind of the goal. The participants assigned the second experimental condition looked through video capturing motion of the "kicker robot" from position of the "keeper robot". The result suggests that people do not concern in avatar's autonomy when they ground on the situation of the avatar.
