Abstract

In this study, we investigated robot behaviors in a shopping mall that can make passersby stop in front of the robot. This is the first step to develop a social robot for advertising. The three types of robot behavior: Greeting, Troubling, and Dancing were implemented into the robot. The result by 65000+ passersby shows that Troubling motion can make passersby stop more and stay longer.
