Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As part of our research on robots that focus on interaction with humans, we set ourselves the task of creating an optimal interactive environment for people with disabilities and those who have difficulty interacting in society. For this purpose, we attempted to implement a self-expression function and an emotion, preference, and cognitive model estimation function into several robots. We obtained sufficient research results for these functions and confirmed the basic functions of the robot system that were the aims of the project. However, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the final year of the project, we were not able to conduct experiments to verify the effectiveness of all the combinations of dialogue methods and systems that we had set as our goals; nevertheless, we were able to steadily carry out important efforts in this research, such as confirming the functionality of several forms of the robot system and using the robots to help autistic children.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
研究代表者は人と関わるロボットの研究分野において,とりわけ,対話という目的を果たすための人間とロボットの最小限の情報共有を目指す遠隔操作アンドロイド・ロボットの研究において,世界を先導してきた.本研究はこの独自的研究を発展させ,単なる遠隔操作ロボットではなく,障がい者や対話を苦手とする者を多様に支援できるようなロボットシステムを実現する点において,社会的意義を有している.また,その対話システムの実現において核となる自己表現機能と感情・選好・認知モデル推定機能,特に後者の機能はこれまでの対話支援システムには導入されていないものであり,開発するシステムに学術的意義を与えている.
