Outline of Final Research Achievements

“Communication Robots” are expected to become a best partner for human. However the motion designs of the robots are mechanical, and the motion of the emotion is not friendly for human. To solve the problem of the motion design, we had extracted the emotions from the motion of the Japanese “Bunraku” puppeteer. Experiment methods are 2 ways for the same subjects. According to the result of subjective evaluation, an ex-pandable robot was better and higher affinity than the un-expandable robot for subjects. The expandable robot was highly praised in those evaluation points, emotional, lively, not mechanical, warm, and so on. Especially, the expandable body with tilt neck robot was higher evalua-tion than the only expandable robot. And according to the result of measuring brain wave of subjects, the expandable robot was the highest evaluation.From these results, we confirmed that most human prefers the exaggerated emotional motion of robot like Bunraku puppet.
