ターン譲渡表示の変化によるコミュニケーションロボットの印象評価

抄録

This paper presents a communication robot system with a simple LED display for representing timing for turn-taking in human-robot interaction. Human-like conversation with non-verbal information, such as gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, and eye contact, makes a contribution to provide more natural communication. If the robots could use such verbal and non-verbal communication skills, it would lead to establish a social relation between a robot and human. Timing for turn-taking in human communication can be important non-verbal cues to efficiently convey messages and to share opinions with each other. In this study, we show some experimental results to discuss the effect of response timing for turn-taking on communication between a person and robot.
