Description

Human personal distance against a mobile robot, which has been used in transportation work at hospitals, was studied by subjective report and heart rate measurement in experiments. The robot moved toward standing or sitting subjects at constant velocities from 0.2 to 1.0m/s from a distance 10m apart. Personal distance was reported by subjects who raised their hand at the moment when they first felt uncomfortable. Subjects were 21 male students. The personal distance was extended in proportion of the speed of moving robot. It is suggested that an increase in speed of robot enlarged personal space acting as a body-buffer zone by enhancing cognition of danger. At the speed of not slower than 0.8m/s of robot subjects' heart rate quickened after raising their hand. This is considered to be caused by psychological factor like fear.
