Abstract

To reduce traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers, in recent years we have been developing a robot that reviews their driving with them after they return home. By reviewing their driving together with a robot, they may be more receptive to the robot’s advice after developing an attachment to the robot. We conducted an experiment focused on the aspect of naming the robot as a way of increasing the user’s attachment to the robot. The results indicated that the correlation between the attachment to the robots and support acceptability was lower when the robot was given a name. Thus, it is possible that increased attachment to robots may not lead directly to improved support acceptability.
