Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research considered the motion interaction between human and artificial agent (named "mimic" which imitates human motion) and modeled the synchrony tendency which subjects tend to have positive impression to others synchronizing with subject's motion. This model consists of three motion characteristics: "imitatoria" imitating subject's motion, "behavior of others" being un-synchronize subject's motion exactly and "unexpectedness" being unexpected other's motion from view point of subjects. From the experimental results, it turned out that "delay motion" of "mimic" is linked to "behavior of others", "synchrony motion" of "mimic" is linked to "imitatoria" and "lead motion" of "mimic" is linked to "unexpectedness". In addition, it is confirmed that human can perceive the "delay motion" when the other's motion is delayed over 300 ms.
