Awareness motion and it's timing to induce user's action

In recent years the robot has come to be more familiar for people. In particular, the development of a communication robot working in the life space of human have attracted much attention. There are many researches for communication robots have been undertaken, mainly robot's performing reaction for the action received from the user. We are developing awareness motion of robot to induce the user's action. By controlling the movement timing appropriately, humans can easily talk with robots. According to sensitivity evaluation, we have identified an appropriate timing of robot's awareness motion.
