ABSTRACT
In this study, we investigated robot behaviors in a shopping mall that can make passersby stop in front of the robot. This is the first step to develop a social robot for advertising. The three types of robot behavior: Greeting, Troubling, and Dancing were implemented into the robot. The result by 65000+ passersby shows that Troubling motion can make passersby stop more and stay longer.

Monitoring the Acceptance of a Social Service Robot in a Shopping Mall: First Results
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionPeople tend to respond positively to social service robots in field trials in public places. Less is known how their perceptions and attitudes evolve if the same robot is presented frequently in the same service setting and the novelty effect wears off. ...
A Social Service Robot in a Shopping Mall: Expectations of the Management, Retailers and Consumers
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionConsumers often respond positively to social service robots in retail context but less is known about the expectations and success criteria of the management and retailers for such robots. We have introduced a humanoid social robot (Pepper) in a ...
Hello Pepper, May I Tickle You?: Children's and Adults' Responses to an Entertainment Robot at a Shopping Mall
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionWe took a social robot Pepper to a shopping mall for one day to see what kind of initial responses it draws from people. We observed that the robot was quickly surrounded by children when there were others-especially adults-interacting with it. The ...
