Fundamental Study of Robot Behavior that Encourages Human to Tidy up Table

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the influence of a robot's behavior that motivates human tidying up. Using this scenario, robot can accomplish tidying up tasks effectively through human-robot cooperation (HRC). We developed a system that can tidy up a table through HRC. To validate what behavior effectively encourage human to tidy up, we conducted a preliminary experiment with 8 male-participants, aged 21-23. This paper describes its elementary results.
