Effect of latency of response on life-like communication using a dog-like robot
Yoshie Kiritani, Sachi Mizobuchi, Ohhashi Hideki · 2006
Using a dog-like robot, the effectiveness of latency of response for life-like communication was examined. The participant touched the robot's head, it lifted up the head, and he/she evaluated its from the point of living and intention. As results, the effect of latency of response was not clear because of a variety of life-like impressions. The life-like response seemed to be emotional, but at least two kinds of emotions could be perceived. Negative emotion was seen in shorter latency as well as in longer latency. Life-like impression was not the same as perceptual intention. These findings should be investigated in the situation properly simulated the communication, not in a simple and single reaction.
