In recent years, there has been a growing demand for robots that can coexist with humans. Rhythm is one of important factors. Related research has suggested that synchronization has a significant impact on the excitement of conversation and the performance of cooperative tasks. While there have been many studies of robots that follow human tempo, few studies have considered synchronization between humans and robots. By considering the latter, stress-free and highly applicable synchronization can be achieved. Therefore, this research aims to realize a system in which a robot can synchronize with multiple people and control their rhythms unconsciously. This paper investigates the point of convergence of tempo synchronization between two parties and the causes of this convergence. The results confirmed that there were two major patterns of tempo convergence, with those in charge of slower tempos tending to speed up their tempos.
