Robots are no longer only in outer space, in factory cages, or in our imaginations. We interact with robotic agents when withdrawing cash from ATMs, driving cars with anti-lock brakes, and tuning our thermostats. In the moment of those interactions with robotic agents, we behave in ways that do not necessarily align with the rational belief that robots are just plain machines. Through a combination of controlled experiments and field studies, we will examine the ways that people make sense of robotic agents, including (1) how people interact with personal robots and (2) how people interact through telepresence robots. These observations and experiments raise questions about the psychology of human-agent interaction, particularly about issues of perceived agency and the incorporation of technologies into one's sense of self.

A migratable agent, which has the function of providing an interface between the user and the devices with which it needs to interact, can provide the user with continuous assistance. The relationship established between a human and the agent would enable the user to operate home appliances smoothly. However, few studies which have addressed the primary questions that arise in this regard; for example, how and when the agent should execute the task requested by the user. This paper proposes the use of a design principle based on the BDI model for a migratable agent to ensure that it is capable of carrying out user's tasks appropriately. The BDI model enables the agent to determine the scope of continuing actions to achieve its intended target. The BDI model allows the agent to execute tasks in the clear range of achieving intentions and guarantees the completion of tasks within a reasonable range. We investigated the validity of adopting the BDI model by obtaining feedback via questionnaires related to the design of the migratable agent. The results of the questionnaires indicated that the BDI model would be able to facilitate the design of the migratable agent.

We present a study involving 160 participants investigating the effect of associating professional status and ethnicity with an agent by manipulating its appearance, language, and level of education. We aim to discern perceptions of status and ethnicity with respect to participants' cultural background by inviting participants from two different cultural groups (Middle Eastern and Western) to take part in our study. Results revealed that participants' cultural background had a strong impact on their ratings of the agent and its message. However, neither the agent's portrayed status nor its ethnicity appeared to have an effect on participants' perceptions of the agent. We further found that participants from both cultural backgrounds holding a negative attitude towards robots in general tend to perceive the presented message by the agent more negatively. Middle Eastern participants had a more positive attitude towards robotic agents than Western participants, which might have been the main influence on their perception of the message presented by the agent. In addition, participants who identified the agent as a member of their own cultural group perceived the presented message more positively than those from the other cultural group. We discuss our results with an intention to inform design implications for agents in a cross-cultural context.

We examined the interaction in face-to-face selling situation. In particular, we examined how customer's nonverbal behaviors were related to their preference in a natural environment. We found that customers' body posture could be a good predictor about their preference. We also found that estimation on customer's preference could be achieved from two nonverbal behaviors better than single behavior. We discuss the present contributions toward constructing the efficient agent systems.

With the advancement of technology, the number of domestic robots used in day-to-day life is expected to increase. We think that it is important for people to perceive animacy in robots in order to develop relationships with them. In this study, we report the proposal and development by our research of a group of five robots shaped like cubes, and equipped with a simple mechanism that allowed them to move in a straight line in order to test certain hypotheses. We showed our group of robots at several exhibitions, where visitors interacted with them. We analyzed how participants' impressions of the robots changed as they began to move. To this end, we used the semantic differential (SD) method in questionnaires. The results revealed that our robot system could convey the impression of being animate to users because of its movement, in spite of its abstract shape and simple mechanism. We also determined that such movement can help improve the relationship between a human user and a robot.

Our research focuses on creating a robotic system that aids human-to-human communication. The robot acts as a personal companion that understands the user's emotions and helps express them alongside the user. First, the user's facial expression is detected through a connected camera device and relays the retrieved information to a humanoid robot. The humanoid robot then performs physical gestures that match the detected emotion. By using this system, those who are unable to freely move their own bodies can add a physical component to their communication method. In this paper, we have determined the efficacy of translating detected facial expressions into robot movements. Through experiments and surveys, we determined whether our proposed 'Ex-Amp Robot' helped enhance the communication of a hypothetically tetraplegic user.

This paper presents a new taste interface for multisensory communication called "Thermal Sweet Taste Machine". We developed this interface in order to create sweet sensations, by manipulating the temperature on the tongue, without using chemicals. This device device changes the temperature on the surface of the tongue (from 20°C to 40°C) within a short period of time using a computer controlled circuit. Our preliminary user studies suggested that this device would be effective in two ways; producing the sweet sensations without the aid of chemicals, and enhancing the sweetness of the food and drinks. Here we discuss our concept, development of the interface, and some preliminary studies that has been carried out. We believe our technology would enhance the experiences and capabilities in future multisensory communication in different disciplines such as Human-Computer Interaction, human robot interactions, gaming and interacting with artificial agents.
