Paper Abstract:
|
Robots are expected to play an important role in social welfare and service for older citizens. These robots are required to be able to smoothly coexist and cooperate with humans. Therefore, these robots should generate embodied interactions for greetings in order to elicit a feeling of relief. In the greeting interaction using arms between a human and a robot, the timing of an utterance of a voice greeting and a hand motion is important to consider for the synchronization of the embodied rhythms and impressions of humans. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the timing of an utterance of a voice greeting and a hand motion preferred by humans in greeting interactions between a human and a robot. Initially, a hand-up motion and a handshake motion between humans, which are greeting interactions without and with contact, are analyzed. Based on the analysis, an interaction robot system capable of generating the hand-up motion and handshake motion for a greeting interaction with a human is developed. Subsequently, using the developed interaction robot system, the differences of motion characteristics between greeting interactions with and without contact preferred by humans are analyzed by an analysis-by-synthesis technique. |
