A Study on the Effects of Finger Movements on a Humanoid Hugging Robot
Overview
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.
