Impression analysis for robot behavior using brain monitoring

This paper reports difference human impression CG and actual robot. Questionnaire for Semantic Differential(SD) method are optimized using factor analysis, and the human impression was evaluated objectively using NIRS. The robot behaviors are designed based on Anna Freud and Kestenberg´s theory. In the motion design, the distance between human and robot is considered by reffering the personal space. As result, it was confirmed significantly that the CG robot can be utilized for an impression analysis of the robot feature´s and motion similarly with the actual robot. Moreover, it was found that the difference in the impression can be found by monitoring the brain area Fpl.
