Abstract

We investigated the effects of an on-screen agent and a robotic agent on users' behaviors in a non-face-to-face interaction, which is a much more realistic style than the face-to-face interaction on which most studies have focused. The results showed that the participants had more positive attitudes or behaviors toward the robotic agents than the on-screen agent. We discuss the results of this investigation and focus in particular on how to create comfortable interactions between users and various interactive agents appearing in different media.

Can users react toward an on-screen agent as if they are reacting toward a robotic agent?
HRI '09: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human robot interaction

Our former study showed that users tended not to react to an on-screen agent's invitation of a Shiritori game (a last and first game), but did to a robotic agent. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the contributing factors that could ...

Abstract
One way to improve the relationship between humans and anthropomorphic agents is to have humans empathize with the agents. In this study, we focused on a task between an agent and a human in which the agent makes a mistake. To investigate ...
Users' reactions toward an on-screen agent appearing on different media
HRI '10: Proceedings of the 5th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interaction

We experimentally investigated users' reactions toward an on-screen agent appearing on three different types of media: a 42-inch television, 17-inch display, and 4.5-inch mobile PC. Specifically, we observed whether the users accepted the agent's ...
