小型移動ロボットに対する幼児の個体距離に関する研究: ロボットと共生する生活空間の計画技術に関する研究 4

摘要

The individual physical distances infants maintained from a robot as it moves toward them were studied. This research focused on a small mobile robot and identified the distances which the robot can approach infants. The following five results were obtained. 1.Infants tended to position themselves to the front of the robot. 2. There was no correlation and dependence between the speed and approach angle of the robot toward the infants and the individual physical distance the infant maintained. However, there was a slight distinction in individual physical distance depending on whether the infant was in a "standing" or "sitting" position. 3. There was no difference in individual physical distance between the robot and an infant on the basis of a robot height of 600 mm and 900 mm with the covers attached to it. 4. Infants tended to like a robot 300 mm high and 200 mm wide. 5. Infants maintained closer individual distances than adults.%本研究より幼児の立位•床座位における小型移動ロボットに対する個体距離(図17)及び、高さ600[mm]、900[mm]のカバーを装着したロボットに対する個体距離(図18)について、以下のことがわかった。1)幼児は前方向に距離をとる傾向がある。
