Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to establish a methodology for long-term acceptance of a social robot, studying on attachment behavior of the robot in daily living environments. We propose Etho-robotics as an approach to realize social, simple and robust human-robot interaction by applying the behavior of dogs obtained in the field of ethology to a robot. In this study, we focused on the attachment behavior of dogs as social skill, built a computational model of the attachment behavior and implemented it to a mobile robot. In addition to the attachment behavior, assuming the use of the robot in a daily living environment, we developed a monitoring function for the robot to detect and notify unusual situations by integrating with distributed sensors installed in the environment. Finally, we evaluated users’ impression and acceptance of the robot based on the effect of the social skill of the robot.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では,動物行動学的に獲得した犬の振る舞いをロボットへ応用し,社会的で簡便でロバストな人とロボットの相互作用を実現するアプローチとしてEtho-roboticsを提案している。人と犬のコミュニケーション様式をモデル化してロボットへ適用することに特徴がある。本研究課題では犬の愛着行動をロボットに適用した。愛着行動を通じて,ロボットの使用者は他者とロボット,自身とロボットの関係に差があることについて認識した。すなわち,ロボットは言葉で説明することなく,振る舞いを通じてロボットと人との社会的関係を表現できることを示した。ロボットの社会性の実現に向けた有効な方策,知見として位置付けられる。
