動物行動学に基づくロボットの社会的非言語コミュニケーションが移動ロボットとの関係性に与える影響の人間視点での評価

抄録

Social behavior of robots plays a vital role in improving human-robot interaction. In the previous study, we created a behavioral model of the social robot inspired by the attachment behavior of dogs. This robot uses the vocalization, a non-verbal communication, to build relationships with human. In last year's study, the results of some experiments revealed the usefulness of the vocalization and some functional issues. Based on these results, we improved the vocalization mechanism and the robotic platform. In this paper, we describe the results of an experiment on the effects on the relationship with the social robot from the human perspective obtained through communication with this robot.
