Proposal of communication robot with simple motions

DOI

Description

In recent years, many kinds of humanoid robots have been developed. A disadvantage of a simple robot is a lack of movements unlike some humanoid robots have arms. The authors test simple robots could realize fluent communication as well as humanoid robots. What kind of motion should do as basic communication movements for a simple robot was researched in pre-experiments. Based on the results of pre-experiments, the proposed simple robot was created. Using pepper and a simple robot, the authors conducted an experiment to evaluate the impression. The following knowledge is obtained by results of experiments. A proposed simple robot with emotional motions is evaluated as well as Pepper in “Familiarity”, “Enjoyment”, and “Performance.” A proposed simple robot with emotional motions is evaluated higher than simple robot without emotional motion “Familiarity”, “Enjoyment” and “Activity.” Even with the proposed simple robot, the author can realize the same degree of communication as Pepper by multimodal transformation.
