In this paper we present a lab study on robot abuse by children. 61 Japanese children of ages 7-9 interacted individually with Robovie, a social robot, in a context that promoted children's free disruptive behaviors towards the robot. We compared the robot's use of an adaptation of a parental discipline strategy, the so-called love-withdrawal technique, to a similar set of robot behaviors that lacked any specific strategy (neutral condition). The main insight we gained was that perhaps we should better not focus on general robot behaviors to try to fit all children, but rather, we should adapt the robot behaviors to children's individual differences. For instance, we found that the love-withdrawal-based strategy was significantly more effective in children of age 8-9 than on children of 7.

This paper proposes a pacing system that makes dialog robots mimic the pacing technique in order to promote trust relationships between humans and robots. Pacing is a communicative technique that synchronizes breathing or how to speak with a person to build relationships among humans. The experiment was performed by comparing the impression of human subjects' conversation with a robot when the pacing system was applied or not applied. The evaluation used both subjective and objective perspectives. From the subjective perspective, the results show significant differences for the questionnaire items concerning "feeling friendliness," "feeling fun," "feeling an emotional connection," "feeling synchrony," "motivation to use" and "listening to the user" between the with and without pacing conditions. Also, from the objective perspective, there is a significant difference in sympathetic activity in heart rate variability.

We aimed to investigate whether the relationship between the behavior of humans and that of the surrounding agents improves the virtual experience. We conducted an experiment using crowd agents that implement the behavior propagation model based on the herd behavior model. The result indicated that the experiences in the virtual world improved to some extent.

We aim to develop a support system for creative problem solving during group communication. In this study, we focused on convergent thinking phase in creative problem solving involving group communication. We measured speech activity, subjective ratings, and task performance during a convergent problem-solving task done by three people, and we evaluated the relationships. The results were that the standard deviation of speech duration was significantly inversely correlated with improvements in task score during group communication. Therefore, equilibration of speech activity among participants in group communication would help us to improve the performance of creative problem solving.

This paper presents an overview of Talking-Bones where the robot aims to communicate with humans in a conversation recalling together. Talking-Bones exhibits encouraging behaviors by forgetting some words in a story and asking humans to help to recall the words together in order to continue telling the story. In our field work, we observed that people found the forgotten words together and enjoyed teaching the robot often laughing and smiling. From this exercise in Joint-Remembering, we suggest that Talking-Bones has the ability to bring out helping behaviours and facilitate communication. In this paper we describe the concept of Talking-Bones and details of the robot design. Also, we describe part of the observed interaction.

As voice recognition technology develops, we talk to smart speakers and other voice assistants more and more frequently in everyday life. Many such speech dialog systems are designed to use honorifics. However, humans do not always use honorifics in everyday conversation. Thus, we consider that voice assistants need to use other forms of expression in addition to so-called polite language. In this study, we conducted a comparative experiment to investigate how the speaking styles of smart speakers affect human listeners. In this experiment, a participant talked to a smart speaker to make travel plans. We analyzed the results of questionnaires. We found that a smart speaker's friendly speaking style influenced the participants' impressions and thus shaped the development of good relationships between humans and agents. Our findings indicate that people regard agents as friends if they speak in a friendly manner.

Cars represent an important mode of transportation for the elderly; however, in recent years, the number of traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers in Japan has increased. Thus, to ensure driving safety, we are researching a driver agent system that provides driving support and feedback support to elderly drivers to encourage them to improve their driving. In this paper, we report on a set of preliminary experiments using our agent in an actual car environment designed to evaluate the subjective acceptability of and distraction by the agent based on subjective evaluation and analysis of driver fixation points during driving. The results revealed that the acceptability of the agent was high and that the agent in an actual car environment did not distract the driver.

The way a smart house system interacts with the user could limit the full potential a smart house is capable to provide, and an agent-mediated interface has been proved to broaden users' mental models. We designed four different conceptual smart house interfaces and surveyed to find out what kind of agent interface is desired under a wide variety of smart house needs.

In this study, human-robot interaction with multimodal perception interface combining human visual and haptic perception is introduced. In the proposed human-robot collaboration method, cognitive capabilities of human and accurate motion control capabilities of robot are integrated based on a coarse-to-fine strategy. Human operator is designated for coarse global motion under feedback interfaces utilizing human visual as well as haptic modalities. Simultaneously, fine local motion in an active manner without involving human intention-aware is realized by a robotic module with high-speed actuators and high-speed sensory feedback. Experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
