Breathing Expression for Intimate Communication Corresponding to the Physical Distance and Contact between Human and Robot
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
In this paper, we propose living-being-like breathing expressions concurrent with both aspiration and utterances using a stuffed-toy robot in order to enable intimate interactions. The focus of the research is the impression of the intimacy between the robot and the user corresponding to the physical distance of the two. From the factor analysis of the impression for the word "intimacy" and the distance between the robot and the participants, it is conjectured that the physical intimacy showed strong effects in terms of both warm empathy and tranquility.

Effect of avatars and viewpoints on performance in virtual world: efficiency vs. telepresence
An increasing number of our interactions are mediated through e-technologies. In order to enhance the human’s feeling of presence into these virtual environments, also known as telepresence, the individual is usually emb...
Implementation of Human Cognitive Bias on Naïve Bayes
We propose a human-cognition inspired classification model based on Naïve Bayes. Our previous study showed that human-cognitively inspired heuristics is able to enhance the prediction accuracy of text classifier based on...
Wearable robot that measures user vital signs for elderly care and support
In this paper, we introduce a wearable robot with vital sensors. So far, we have been developing a wearable partner agent that makes physical contact, which is generated by combining haptic stimuli and the agent's anthro...
Evolutionary generation of game levels
This paper outlines an approach for evolutionary procedural generation of video game content. The study deals with the automatic generation of game level designs using genetic algorithms and the development of a fitness...
Templates as heuristics for proving properties of medical devices
This paper briefly describes how property templates have been used to analyse and explore the interactive behaviour of a specific medical device (an IV infusion pump). It is proposed that interactive devices that satisfy...
