Inferring Affective States by Involving Simple Robot Movements
Pages 73 - 78
Abstract
Humans estimate the emotions of others based on voices, expressions, and gestures, even though such expressions are comprised of many complicated elements. If a simple existence moves, how we estimate its emotional states remains relatively unclear. This paper investigates how humans suppose emotional states by the parameter changes of simple movements. We use a simple disk-shaped robot that only moves on the floor and expresses its emotional states by movements and movement parameters based on Russell's circumplex model. We observed the physical interaction between humans and our robot through an experiment where our participants were seeking a treasure in a given field and confirmed that humans infer emotional states by movements that can be changed by simple parameters. This result will contribute to the basic design of HRI.

Inferring affective states from observation of a robot's simple movements
2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)This paper reports an analytic finding in which humans inferred the emotional states of a simple, flat robot that only moves autonomously on a floor in all directions based on Russell's circumplex model of affect that depends on human's spatial position. ...
Computers that care: investigating the effects of orientation of emotion exhibited by an embodied computer agent
Special issue: Subtle expressivity for characters and robotsEmbodied computer agents are becoming an increasingly popular human-computer interaction technique. Often, these agents are programmed with the capacity for emotional expression. This paper investigates the psychological effects of emotion in agents ...
