Abstract

The robot called “Telepresence Robot” is on business in recent years. However, the robot does not consider user’s personal space when the robot approaches the user. Telepresence robot might give users fear if the robot unintentionally invades the user’s personal space when the user have conversation with the robot at the first time. To better develop the system of the robot, here we study about how near the robot approaches a user in advance. We verified the relationship between personal space and the big five by using neural network. It is revealed that the most influential factor for the neural network is agreeableness. By confirming user’s personal space in advance, the conversation between Telepresence Robot and human becomes natural and interactive.
