Abstract

Personality impressions of robots have been regarded as one of the crucial factors in human-robot interaction. To design the personality impressions, we should know how the visual, auditory, and tactile impressions determine the personality impressions. In this study, we investigated the relationships between touch sensations and personality impressions with a child-type android robot in two conditions where 40 Japanese participants touched a part of the robot with different appearance of the face. Factor and path analyses were conducted on the evaluation scores of the sensations and impressions provided by the participants. As a result, two significant positive causal relationships (p < 0.001) were found between the Preference and Resilience touch sensations, and the Likability and Capability personality impressions, respectively, in both robot conditions. On the other hand, several other causal relationships were found only in one condition. This suggests that there are appearance-dependent and appearance-independent relationships between touch sensations and personality impressions.

机器人外观影响触觉与人格印象的因果关系

机器人的个性印象一直被认为是人机交互的关键因素之一。要设计个性印象，我们应该知道视觉、听觉和触觉是如何决定个性印象的。在这项研究中，我们研究了触摸感觉与儿童型机器人的个性印象之间的关系，在两种情况下，40名日本参与者触摸机器人的不同面部外观的一部分。对被试提供的感觉和印象的评价分数进行了因子分析和通径分析。结果发现，在两种机器人条件下，偏好和弹性触摸感觉与讨人喜欢和能力人格印象之间分别存在两个显著的正因果关系(p < 0.001)。另一方面，其他几个因果关系只在一种情况下被发现。这表明在触觉和人格印象之间存在着依赖于外表和不依赖于外表的关系。
