Preliminary investigation of attention responses against behavior observation Robot´s movements

In field studies, observation is often used to investigate natural behaviors of human subjects. However, it requires huge burden to observers. In order to solve the problem, we have proposed “Behavior Observation Robot” which can be a substitute for human observer. In order to observe natural behavior, the robot should avoid receiving much attention from the target subjects. In this study, we investigate attention responses against the robot´s movements.
