- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of social skills and find social cues to maintain a natural and sustained interaction between human and robot in physical training. To this end, we conducted an experiment with 28 participants using the humanoid robot Nao. Fourteen subjects were assigned to the experimental group including the social skills, and the others were assigned to the control group. There were significant difference in naturalness, perceived intelligence, appropriate gaze, likeability, satisfaction, helpfulness and sustainability between two groups after interaction with robot. Therefore, the social skills including feedback, mutual gaze, and social distance should be considered as a positive social cues in physical training.
