Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed a system that tidies up through the cooperation between a robot and a human. We investigated the influence of a robot's behavior on the motivation of tidying up. For completing this system, it is necessary to investigate the effective behaviors that encourages a human. To validate what behavior effectively encourage human to tidy up, we conducted a preliminary experiment with 13 male and 5 female participants, aged 20-23. We found the statistically significant difference between the cases where the robot took actions or not.
