A Study on the Effects of Finger Movements on a Humanoid Hugging Robot
This research examines how finger movements in a humanoid hugging robot affect users psychologically. Experimental results indicate that repetitive and asynchronous finger movements enhance user sensations, while simultaneous movement of all fingers combined with gentle hugging evokes a greater sense of care. No differences were found regarding resistance to physical contact initiated by the robot.
The study experimentally investigates how specific finger movement patterns in a humanoid hugging robot influence user psychological sensations, finding that repetitive or asynchronous movements enhance sensation while simultaneous gentle movements evoke care.
