We conducted three experiments to discover the effect of a virtual agent's state transition on a user's eye gaze. Many previous studies showed that an agent's state transition affects a user's state. We focused on two kinds of transitions, the internal state transition and appearance state transition. In this research, we used a product recommendation virtual agent (PRVA) and aimed to discover the...
The notion of Emotional contagion is a phenomenon in which a human emotion infects others. Various studies have been done to cause emotional contagion between a human and a robot or an anthropomorphic agent in HRI research fields. However, few studies have been done to compare different kinds of agents in order to find important properties in emotional contagion in human-agent interaction (HAI). In...
A flock or frequently looks like as if it was one unique organism. From field observation of soldier crabs we find that directions of individual transitions are usually not aligned, and that inherent turbulence in the frontal part of a swarm positively contributes to form a swarm. We implement these empirical data by a model of which anticipation and memory drives move of the agent. Parallel processing...
