Empathy is very important in the enhancement of rapport, and broadly divided into emotional empathy and cognitive empathy. However, there are few approaches to expressing emotional empathy that can be understood intuitively. In this study, we designed and developed a teary-eyed for displaying emotional empathy during human-robot interaction. This robot mimics the human lacrimal structure, and can generate teary eye by controlling the inflow of water. The effectiveness of the teary-eyed was confirmed experimentally.
