    In public spaces, there is a need for information transmission methods that increase self-involvement which treats external information as own business. We focused on the direction of information transmission and developed a eye-projection calling robot to increase self-involvement. This robot can enhance a sense of information transmission through directional speakers and gaze expressions. However, it is not designed with a sense of distance from the target user in this robot. In this study, we focused on the mechanism of human focus adjustment and proposed an attention expression method that generates the pupillary distance to the target user based on viewing distance and binocular disparity.

    It is known that human affects and emotions are reflected in own eyes. Especially, the eyes with strong affects and emotions such as interest or motivation look like twinkling. People are fascinated and attracted by these twinkling eyes. Therefore, it is expected to examine the elements that fascinate humans and develop social robots for attracting humans by recreating these twinkling eyes using engineering technology. We focused on the reflection of the eyeball surface and developed a twinkling eyes interface by superimposing self-shadow on dilated pupils. This interface can express the pupil response and the shade of self-shadow depending on the distance. In this study, an evaluation experiment that combines self-shadow with dilated pupil was conducted. The effectiveness of the developed interface was demonstrated by sensory evaluations.

    In online communication such as meetings and classes, many participants can connect anywhere,and any number of people can participate. Although online communication is highly convenient, it is difficult to share a sense of unity and interactive atmosphere because the monitor is perceived as a spatial boundary. In face-to-face communication, nonverbal behaviors such as facial expressions and gestures play an important role in sharing a sense of unity and interactive atmosphere. To improve a sense of unity in remote communication, many avatar robots that represent nonverbal behaviors of remote user have been developed. However, there is no approach in creating interactive atmosphere such as activated communication through nonverbal behavior using multiple avatar robots, because the previous research has assumed a scene where the user and the avatar robot faced each other one-on-one. In this study, for the basic research in realizing smooth communication between human and avatar robots, we focused on the number of participants in remote communication and analyzed the degree of activated communication during free conversation. The results demonstrated that group of 3 was most activated in online communication.

    Previous research has been reported that children felt like a close friend and were more likely to self-disclose than other humans when interacting with a social robot. Therefore, it is expected that it will be possible to build close relationships and develop trustworthy robots by introducing an active listening attitude to social robots, as if they were communicating with human. We have previously developed Pupiloid, a speech-driven embodied listening system that expresses an active listening attitude using only the eyes based on the talker's speech. Pupiloid can give the talker a sense of attentive listening by generating nodding movements through eye movement and expressing interest through enlarged pupils. In this study, impression evaluations were conducted for 80 upper elementary school students using the developed system. The experimental results demonstrated that Pupiloid was highly rated for friendliness and the sense of attentive listening, forming positive impressions.

    The development of product design and interface design requires creative thinking by designers. This creative thinking generates new concepts by externalizing and reinterpreting images through sketching or verbalization. In other words, creative thinking can be viewed as an insight problem. Therefore, it is considered that the cognitive load will differ between solving geometric order such as sketching and solving order such as verbalization. By clarifying this difference, it is expected to obtain guidelines for externalization in creative thinking. In this study, the difference between geometric order and linguistic order in insight problem solving was analyzed by pupil variability. Specifically, we adopted a nine dots issue as a geometric order and a crossword puzzle as a linguistic order. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that pupils before solving the insight problem tended to be larger in the linguistic order than in the geometric order.

    It is known that human pupil is related to own affects or interests and becomes more attractive when it is expanded. Focusing on effects of the dilated pupil in human communication and interaction, we analyzed the relationship between the speaker’s speech and his/her own pupil response and confirmed that the pupil dilates in synchronization with the speech. Based on the analysis, we developed the pupil response interface that expresses various pupil responses such as dilated or contracted pupil by speech input. In addition, we developed the speech-driven embodied listening system by mirroring of pupil response in synchronization with the speaker’s speech. This system expresses a positive listening attitude by the pupil response and the nodding response. In this study, we evaluated impressions that the system mirroring the pupillary response acted as a listener. The effectiveness of the system by mirroring the pupil response was demonstrated by sensory evaluations.

    Humans often use a metaphor to describe activated communication as a heat. We focused on this metaphor and developed an estimation model for activated interaction and communication by regarding an interactive communication space as a heat conduction in a virtual temperature space. In addition, we developed a communication system that changes the background color based on the model. This system supports sharing an interactive atmosphere even in spatially separated online communication by changing the background color from the black to the warm color. However, when the background color suddenly changes from the warm color to the black, it brings a negative impression of the silence of the conversation. In this study, we developed a new method that expresses the afterglow of the interaction atmosphere in the system. This method generates slowly changing the background color from the warm color to the black when the conversation is finished.

    Online communication can be realized even in remote areas by sending and receiving mutual images and voices in real time. However, in such online communication, it is difficult to share a sense of unity and interactive atmosphere because the monitor is perceived as a spatial boundary. Therefore, we developed an avatar robot that incorporates an estimation model which simulates the degree of activated interaction from the speaker’s speech. The developed avatar robot expresses an interactive atmosphere by changing its facial color based on the estimated value. In this study, we evaluated the avatar robot under the condition that the avatar robot acts as the remote talker. The effectiveness of this avatar robot was demonstrated by sensory evaluations.

    As the saying goes, “Two minds are better than one”, group communication can generate more ideas than individual thinking. To generate good ideas, a good relationship in a group as well as an activated and smooth interaction are essential during group communication. Previous research proposed many idea generation systems that are intervened directly in the idea during group communication. However, an approach to indirectly support idea generation by enhancing group communication has not been sufficiently examined. In this study, we constructed a system that visually presents the activation level in group communication. This system is projected the Ebbinghaus illusion on a desk and designed to change it based on the activation level that estimated using our group-activated communication model. The effectiveness of the system demonstrated by sensory evaluations.

    Human tears have an effect as an empathic signal that visually conveys evoked strong affects or emotions to them. We focused on human tears as an expression method with strong affects or emotions and developed a teary-eyed robot called Tearoid. Tearoid has the structure of mimicking human lacrimal apparatus and generates the teardrops by controlling the inflow of tears. However, the affect displays of the kinds for the teardrops with various affects or emotions were not examined so far. Therefore, if the robot’s affects or emotions can be inferred from various teardrops, it becomes a new empathic expression for humanoid robots. In this study, we proposed new affect displays that enhance affective expressions by adding color to the teardrops that flow into the Tearoid. It was confirmed that the colored teardrops express various affects or emotions even if the facial expressions do not change.

    Dilated pupils make favorable impression. Focusing on the benefits of the dilated pupils, we have developed a pupil response pet-robot for improving familiarity. This robot can enhance familiarity by enlarging pupils in synchronization with the body contact. In this study, focusing on creating an atmosphere that makes it easy to talk with the pet-robot for promoting self-disclosure during communication, we investigated the size of the pupils that give favorable impression with or without speech input. Based on the experimental results, we developed a speech-driven pupil response pet-robot that generates both a clearly enlarged pupil response and a blink that is synchronized with the speech rhythm.

    In human communication, nonverbal behaviors such as facial expression, body movement, eye-gaze, and pupil response play an important role in realizing activated interaction and communication. In our previous study, an activated interaction through avatars was analyzed, and an estimation model for the activated interaction was developed by introducing the concept of heat-transfer engineering. This model estimates the amount of heat in the communication field as the degree of the activated interaction based on an assumption that each talker's heat is transmitted to the communication field. However, it is hard to estimate interactions including the conveyance of eye-gaze because the model has no parameter of the eye-gaze. It is important to share the conveyance of mutual eye-gaze for producing the activated interaction in voice communication. Therefore, it is expected to develop a model that estimates the conveyance of eye-gaze. In this paper, focusing on eye-gaze which plays an important role in producing the activated interaction, we developed a model that estimates the degree of conveyance by the talker’s eye-gaze in voice communication. This model estimates the degree of the interaction-activated communication as heat transfer by combining the speech input and the eye-gaze input.

    Pupils are related to own affect and give favorable impressions to others depending on their size. Focusing on effects of the pupil size, various pupil sizes were evaluated using human images as stimulations in previous researches. However, it is difficult to generate extreme pupil size in human images, and the evaluation of pupil size itself is difficult because the impressions of human images are formed depending on not only pupil sizes but also other facial parts. To evaluate the impressions of the pupil size itself, it is desirable to extract only the pupil and exclude other facial parts. In this study, we analyzed the impressions on various pupil sizes that combined the dilation / contraction using two kinds of pupil expression media that have been developed. The analysis results demonstrated that a certain dilated area of pupil has a potential to form favorable impressions regardless of pupil expression media.

    Empathy is very important in the enhancement of rapport, and broadly divided into emotional empathy and cognitive empathy. However, there are few approaches to expressing emotional empathy that can be understood intuitively. In this study, we designed and developed a teary-eyed for displaying emotional empathy during human-robot interaction. This robot mimics the human lacrimal structure, and can generate teary eye by controlling the inflow of water. The effectiveness of the teary-eyed was confirmed experimentally.

    Shadows play an important role in the effects of three-dimension and the enhancement of reality in virtual space. On the other hand, addition of color change in human interaction and communication is effective for enhancing expressions such as affects and interactions. Therefore, by changing the color of avatar’s shadows based on the interaction, it is expected to activate and enhance an avatar-mediated interaction and communication. In this study, focusing on the effects of avatar-shadow’s color, we develop an embodied communication system which expresses the change of avatar-shadow color based on an interaction-activated communication model. The model estimates activation levels of embodied communication based on speech input, and the color of avatar-shadow is changed on the basis of the estimated values. A communication experiment is performed with 12 pairs of participants to evaluate the system. The results of the sensory evaluation demonstrate that the color expressions of avatar-shadow are effective for visualizing embodied interaction and communication.

    Shadows are usually natural and unintentional in real space. In virtual space, they play an important role in threedimensional effects and the perceived reality of the virtual space. An avatar’s shadow can have interactive effects with the avatar itself in the virtual space. In this study, we develop an embodied avatar system using avatar-shadow color expressions with an interaction-activated communication model. This model is based on the heat conduction equation in heat-transfer engineering, and has been developed to enhance empathy during embodied interaction in avatar-mediated communication. A communication experiment is performed with 12 pairs of participants to confirm the effectiveness of the system. The results of the sensory evaluation show that interaction activation is visualized by changing avatar-shadow color.

    <p>Line-of-sight such as gaze and eye-contract plays an important role to enhance the embodied interaction and communication through avatars. In addition, many eyeball movement models and communication systems using avatars with the line-of-sight have been proposed and developed. However, these eyeball movements by generating the above-mentioned models were not considered to enhance the embodied interaction such as activated communication, because the models stochastically generate the eyeball movements based on the human gaze behavior. Therefore, in order to enhance and promote the embodied interaction from the view point of line-of-sight, it is desired to design a line-of-sight interaction which relates to the interaction-activated communication. In this study, we analyze the interaction between human gaze behavior and the interaction-activated communication by using an embodied communication system with line-of-sight measurement devices. Then, we propose a line-of-sight model based on the above-mentioned analysis, and develop an advanced embodied communication system by applying the proposed model to the speech-driven embodied entrainment character. This system generates the eyeball movements such as gaze and looking away based on the proposed model, and provides a communication environment wherein the embodied interaction is promoted. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated by means of sensory evaluations of 15 pairs of subjects involved in avatar-mediated communication.</p>

    We have already analyzed enhanced interaction through avatars using an embodied virtual communication system and proposed an interaction-activated communication model based on the heat conduction equation. In this paper, we analyzed the interaction between the talker's gaze and the degree of interaction-activated communication in face-to-face communication, by using an embodied communication system with a line-of-sight measurement device. On the basis of this analysis, we proposed a line-of-sight model, which consists of an eyeball delay movement model and a look away model. Then, we developed an advanced communication system in which the proposed model is applied to speech-driven embodied entrainment character for enhancing embodied interaction and communication. This system generates the eyeball movement on the basis of the proposed model by using the speech input alone to realize smooth and enjoyable interaction and communication.

    Project-based learning (PBL) is effective for teaching students about the engineering design process, as it leads to higher educational effectiveness among lower-grade students. In this paper, we introduced an original PBL program that involved the use of an autonomous mobile robot in a rescue robot contest, and we assessed its educational effectiveness among several categories of students who participated in the contest. The results demonstrated that essential abilities for information engineering could be acquired by participating in the contest, and both the PBL program and contest provided a good educational environment for lower-grade students.

    A previous study reported that the lecturer's avatar of a remote education communication support system with a group gaze model which, the avatar gazed the audience at a rate of 13% right, 60% center, 27% left in the virtual classroom, could provide effectiveness for group interaction and communication, especially sense of unity. We believe that a reason of the result is explained by an experimental result, lecturer in the real class room gazes longer duration to the left side than to the right side. In this study, we investigated relationship between duration time of gazing and experimental tasks assigned to the participants. Results show that gazing time depends on the experimental tasks, and two tasks brought left and right deviation. Furthermore, we discussed the reason that the group gaze model can improve the sense of unity in the virtual class room.

    We investigated the effects of pre-preferences for CG characters (avatar), gender of CG characters, exposure frequency, and the concordance between CG characters and the background on the impression formed about CG characters. During 8 sessions, 36 participants were shown a succession of CG characters presented against concordant or discordant backgrounds. During sessions 1, 3, 5, and 7, participants evaluated each CG character in terms of post-preference, intelligence, and reliability using a 7-point scale. Session 8 involved a delay condition. The results showed that post-preference evaluation scores in the high pre-preference condition were associated with better first impressions of CG characters, and increased with exposure frequency. However, background conformity influenced the impressions of CG characters when pre-preferences were medium or low. In addition, post-preference and reliability evaluation scores were higher for female than male characters.

This characters can support the embodied interaction and communication in avatar mediated communication and demonstrate that the line-of-sight plays an important role in enhancing the embodied interaction and communication. In this paper, we propose a concept of eye-contact measurement method and develop an eye-contact measurement system using a dichroic mirror m face-to-face communication for enhancing the embodied interaction and communication. In this system, a dichroic mirror which has a function that transmits visible rays, and reflects infrared rays is arranged between two talkers as a virtual display, and the gaze points on the virtual display are estimated. When the estimated gaze points are present m the eye area of opposite talker, an eye-contact is established in face-to-face communication.

In this paper, we propose an interaction-activated communication model based on the heat conduction equation for enhancing embodied interaction in avatar-mediated communication. Further, we perform the evaluation experiment and demonstrate that the proposed model is effective for estimating the period of interaction-activated communication in avatar-mediated communication.

    <p>A large network delay is likely to obstruct human interaction in telecommunication systems such as telephony or video conferencing systems. In spite of the extensive investigations that have been carried out on network delays of voice and image data, there have been few studies regarding support for embodied communication under the conditions of network delay. To maintain smooth human interaction, it is important that the various ways in which delay is manifested are understood. We have already developed an embodied virtual communication system that uses an avatar called "VirtualActor," in which speakers who are remotely located from one another can share embodied interaction in the same virtual space. Responses to a questionnaire that was used in a communication experiment confirmed that a fixed 500-ms network delay has no effect on interactions via VirtualActors. In this paper, we propose a method of presenting a speaker's voice and an avatar's motion feedback in the case of a 1.5-s network delay using VirtualActors. We perform two communication experiments under different conditions of network delay. The aim of the first experiment is to examine the effect of a random time delay on the conversation. The second experiment is conducted under the conditions of a free-form conversation that takes place in 5 scenarios-1 real-time scenario without a network delay and 4 scenarios with network delay that involve a combination of a delay in the talker's voice and in his/her avatar's motion feedback. The subjects consisted of a total of 30 students who worked in 15 pairs and who were familiar with each other. A sensory evaluation shows the effects upon communication of delays in the avatar's motion feedback, from the viewpoint of supporting the interaction.</p>

    We have already developed a speech-driven embodied group entrained communication system called "SAKURA" for activating group interaction and communication in which speech-driven CG characters called InterActors with both functions of speaker and listener by generating communicative actions and motions are entrained one another as a teacher and some students in the same virtual classroom. In this paper, we analyze the eyeball movement of lecturer in group communication, by using an embodied communication system with a line-of-sight measurement device. On the basis of this analysis, we propose an eyeball movement model, which consists of an saccade model and a group gaze model. Then, we develop an advanced communication system in which the proposed eyeball movement model is applied to a speech-driven embodied group entrained communication system. The communication system generates the eyeball movement of lecturer on the basis of the model, and it generates the head and body entrained motions of characters by using the speech input alone. The system would be effective for group embodied interaction and communication as well as remote interaction and communication support.

    A large network delay would obstruct human interaction using telecommunication systems such as telephony or video conference. Studies on the embodied communication support in the network delay condition have been little undertaken despite considerable investigations of the network delay of voice and image data. It is important that the ways of revealing the delay are discussed for smooth human interaction. We have already developed an embodied virtual communication system using an avatar called "VirtualActor" in which remote talkers can share embodied interaction in the same virtual space. It has been confirmed that the fixed 500ms network delay has no effects on interaction via VirutalActors in the questionnaire in the communication experiment. In this paper, we propose the presentation method of talker's voice and avatar's motion feedback in the 1.5s network delay condition by using VirtualActors. The communication experiment is performed under the conditions of a free conversation by 5 scenes; the real-time scene without the network delay, and the 4 remained network-delay scenes for the combination of the delay of the talker's voice and his/her avatar's motion feedback. The subjects consisted of a total of 15 pairs of 30 students who are familiar with each other. Sensory evaluation shows communication effects of the delay of avatar's motion feedback on interaction support.

    We have already developed an embodied virtual communication system for human interaction analysis by synthesis. This system provides two remote talkers with a communication environment in which embodied interaction is shared by VirtualActors including the talkers themselves through a virtual face-to-face scene. We confirmed the importance of embodied sharing in embodied communication by using the system. We have also demonstrated the effects of nodding responses for embodied interaction and communication support. In this paper, we develop a virtual communication support system using a speech-driven embodied entrainment wall picture focusing on the immersive effect which makes an impression visually. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated by the sensory evaluation and speech-overlap analysis in the communication experiment for 20 pairs of 40 talkers.

    In this study, we aimed to establish the expressions of pupil response to empathize with the user in a communication between human and robot. Therefore, we conducted the both approaches of "Analysis" that analyzes the characteristics of pupil response in communication and "Design" that develops and evaluates the advanced pupil response systems and robots. In the approach of "Analysis", using a pupil measurement device, we analyzed the pupil response with or without pleasant emotion during the utterance, and revealed that the pupil significantly dilates with the utterance. In the approach of "Design", we applied the developed pupil response model to the pupil response interface which have been developed so far and investigated the expressions of pupil response for promoting empathy.
    As a result, the user had a tendency that the sense of familiarity and empathy was enhanced by the dilation of pupil response.

    The purpose in this research is that an objective criterion is developed to measure the pupil responses during human and robot interaction and communication. Therefore, we focused on the pupil responses related to human emotions and carried out following two approaches: Analysis and Design. In the Analysis approach, the pupil responses in human face-to-face communication were analyzed using an embodied communication system with a line-of-sight measurement device and the possibility of an objective criterion were indicated. In the Design approach, based on the above-mentioned analysis results, we developed an advanced communication system which is applied to the pupil response and an expressible pupil response interface by using hemispherical displays. The effectiveness of the developed system and developed interface were demonstrated by sensory evaluation in communication experiments.

    In this research, we developed an eye-contact measurement system using a dichroic mirror in face-to-face communication for mental health care. In this system, a dichroic mirror which has a function that transmits visible rays, and reflects infrared rays is arranged between two talkers as a virtual display, and the gaze points on the virtual display are estimated. When the estimated gaze points are present in the eye area of opposite talker, an eye-contact is established in face-to-face communication. In addition, we performed a communication experiment for examining an eye-contact measurement method in human face-to-face communication. In the experiment, an acrylic board was arranged between two talkers as a virtual display, and the gaze points were analyzed in order to examine effects of the presence of acrylic board. The result demonstrated that the talker's line-of-sight has a tendency to concentrate on the center of the acrylic board.
