| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Robot acceptance（受容）is crucial in Human-Robot Interaction （HRI）. Without acceptance interaction is not possible and robots are useless. It is known that robot’s design and ability play an important role in acceptance. In this project, we propose a framework to be used in HRI study. We build a small humanoid robot which ap-pearance and ability can be changed easily. The robot consists in a skeleton driven by ultra-sonic motors, and a 3D-printed changeable skin or shell. The simple assembly of the system and its high motion ability is perfectly adequate for HRI studies, and con-tributes to develop widely accepted social robots.
