Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 28(1) 107-108, 2016 Peer-reviewedWe developed robovie-mR2, a desktop-sized communication robot, in which we incorporated a “Kawaii” design to create a familiar appearance because it is an important acceptance factor for both researchers and users. It can interact with people using multiple sensors, including a camera and microphones, expressive gestures, and an information display. We believe that robovie-mR2 will become a useful robot platform to advance the research of human-robot interaction. We also give examples of human-robot interaction research works that use robovie-mR2.

International Journal of Social Robotics, 9(1) 5-15, 2016 Peer-reviewedThe paper investigated the effects on a person being touched by a robot to motivate her. Human science literature has shown that touches to others facilitate efforts of touched people. On the other hand, in the human--robot interaction research field, past research has failed to focus on the effects of such touches from robots to people. A few studies reported negative impressions from people, even if a touch from a person to a robot left a positive impression. To reveal whether robot touch positively affects humans, we conducted an experiment where a robot requested participants to perform a simple and monotonous task with/without touch interaction between a robot and participants. Our experiment's result showed that both touches from the robot to the participants and touches from the participants to the robot facilitated their efforts.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 6TH ACM/IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTIONS (HRI 2011), pp.465-472 465-472, 2011This paper presents the effect of a robot's active touch for improving people's motivation. For services in the education and healthcare fields, a robot might be useful for improving the motivation of performing such repetitive and monotonous tasks as exercising or taking medicine. Previous research demonstrated with a robot the effect of user touch on improving its impressions, but they did not clarify whether a robot's touch, especially an active touch, has enough influence on people's motive. We implemented an active touch behavior and experimentally investigated its effect on motivation. In the experiment, a robot requested participants to perform a monotonous task with a robot's active touch, a passive touch, or no touch. The result of experiment showed that an active touch by a robot increased the number of working actions and the amount of working time for the task. This suggests that a robot's active touch can support people to improve their motivation. We believe that a robot's active touch behavior is useful for such robot's services as education and healthcare.
