| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose in this research is that an objective criterion is developed to measure the pupil responses during human and robot interaction and communication. Therefore, we focused on the pupil responses related to human emotions and carried out following two approaches: Analysis and Design. In the Analysis approach, the pupil responses in human face-to-face communication were analyzed using an embodied communication system with a line-of-sight measurement device and the possibility of an objective criterion were indicated. In the Design approach, based on the above-mentioned analysis results, we developed an advanced communication system which is applied to the pupil response and an expressible pupil response interface by using hemispherical displays. The effectiveness of the developed system and developed interface were demonstrated by sensory evaluation in communication experiments.
