Development of an Android Robot for Studying Human-Robot Interaction

چکیده
Behavior or Appearance? This is fundamental problem in robot development. Namely, not only the behavior but also the appearance of a robot influences human-robot interaction. There is, however, no research approach to tackling this problem. In order to state the problem, we have developed an android robot that has similar appearance as humans and several actuators generating micro behaviors. This paper proposes a new research direction based on the android robot.

Androids are testbets for studying human-robot interaction. They enable us to compare the developed robot technologies and humans in a direct manner. Especially, they can be used for verifying cognitive and psychological hypotheses. And then the verified hypotheses are applied for improving the androids. This tight connection between robotics and cognitive science is called android science. The...
متن کاملIntroduction to the special issue on android science
Android science is a new interdisciplinary framework for studying human cognition and interaction based on the premise that a very humanlike robot can elicit the sort of responses people typically direct toward each other (Ishiguro 2006,MacDorman and Ishiguro 2006b). If correct, this would allow for an android to be used as a stand-in for a human being in social, psychological, cognitive and ne...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
