| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we clarified what kind of robot movements a human feels safe and comfortable with, in human-robot co-worker scenarios. We adopted object handover and arm reaching tasks as typical collaboration ones. Human-human and human-robot collaboration experiments were conducted and the relationships between human feelings and robot movements were explored. For object handover, it was found that humans can estimate their partner’s handover behavior very well based on the physical and social characteristics of their own and their partner. Our experiments also confirmed that the perceived uncertainty in the robot movement is the fundamental determinant of human discomfort when a robot is working in the vicinity of humans. These results can contribute to planning robot motions and comfortable collaboration systems.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は、人間と空間を共有して作業を行う協働ロボットの動作生成やシステムデザインに貢献するものである。例えば物の手渡しを行う場合、本研究で示した位置関係や相手の身体的・社会的モデルに基づいたロボット動作を生成することで、相手に違和感を与えない快適な受け渡しを可能とする。また一緒に作業を行う人間から認識される不確定性を低減するロボット動作やシステムの設計を行うことで、より快適な協働作業を実現する。
