Zusammenfassung: | The aim of our study was to develop a method by which a social robot can
greet passersby and get their attention without causing them to suffer
discomfort.A number of customer services have recently come to be provided by
social robots rather than people, including, serving as receptionists, guides,
and exhibitors. Robot exhibitors, for example, can explain products being
promoted by the robot owners. However, a sudden greeting by a robot can startle
passersby and cause discomfort to passersby.Social robots should thus adapt
their mannerisms to the situation they face regarding passersby.We developed a
method for meeting this requirement on the basis of the results of related
work. Our proposed method, user-centered reinforcement learning, enables robots
to greet passersby and get their attention without causing them to suffer
discomfort (p |
