Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on the idea that human-robot interaction can be further enhanced by incorporating exaggerated expressions found in cartoons, this research focuses on "streamlines" found in cartoons, and aims to develop a streamline expression system and verify the effects of streamlines. Specifically, we developed a system that allows a robot arm to hold a sword and display a streamline when the robot arm swings the sword. The results showed that when the robot arm swung the sword at a certain speed, the subjects felt that the speed of the sword was faster than the actual speed of swinging because of the streamline. However, it is interesting to note that when the speed of the sword is slow, the speed enhancement effect of the streamline is small.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
漫画に見られる誇張表現である「流線」の効果は経験的に論じられることが多かったが,本研究を通して,「流線」が人間に与える影響が明らかになった. 提案手法は言語情報に頼らないため,言語情報に頼らずに表現力を向上させることが可能であり,日本人に限らず万人とインタラクションがスムーズに行えるロボットの新しいデザイン構成法が構築されることが期待される.
