先前对人类社会互动的研究表明，人际运动协调有助于建立社会关系。我们的研究解决了这样一个问题，即在人与人的交互实验中，人类对机器人的整体感知是否可以通过实现运动协调行为来改善，从而使机器人能够实时适应人的行为。采用基于信息距离的同步性检测方法，通过测量人与机器人之间的行为同步性，指导仿人机器人与人协调动作，实现实时的人-机器人运动协调行为。参与者的反馈表明，大多数参与者更喜欢与具有自适应运动协调能力的人形机器人进行交互。这项概念验证研究的结果表明，运动协调机制改善了人类对人形机器人的整体感知。与我们以前的研究结果，即人类积极协调自己的行为，人形机器人的行为，这项研究进一步支持的假设，双向运动协调可能是一种有效的方法，以促进自适应人-人形互动。
Previous research on social interaction among humans suggested that interpersonal motor coordination can help to establish social rapport. Our research addresses the question of whether, in a human-humanoid interaction experiment, the human's overall perception of a robot can be improved by realizing motor coordination behavior that allows the robot to adapt in real-time to a person's behavior. A synchrony detection method using information distance was adopted to realize the real-time human-robot motor coordination behavior, which guided the humanoid robot to coordinate its movements to a human by measuring the behavior synchrony between the robot and the human. The feedback of the participants indicated that most of the participants preferred to interact with the humanoid robot with the adaptive motor coordination capability. The results of this proof-of-concept study suggest that the motor coordination mechanism improved humans' overall perception of the humanoid robot. Together with our previous findings, namely that humans actively coordinate their behaviors to a humanoid robot's behaviors, this study further supports the hypothesis that bidirectional motor coordination could be a valid approach to facilitate adaptive human-humanoid interaction.
