模拟人际社会互动的机器人设计是一个活跃的研究领域，应用于治疗和陪伴。人类对眼接触的神经反应最近被用来确定在社会互动中活跃的神经系统。与社交机器人的眼神交流是否会激活相同的神经系统还有待观察。在这里，我们采用类似的方法来比较人与人和人与机器人的社会互动。我们假设，如果人与人、人与机器人的眼神接触引起人类相似的神经活动，那么人与机器人的感知和认知过程也是相同的。也就是说，机器人的处理方式与人类相似。然而，如果神经效应是不同的，那么感知和认知加工就被认为是不同的。在这项研究中，使用近红外光谱进行神经成像，比较了人对人和人对机器人条件下的神经活动，以及机器人（Maki）的眼睛会眨眼并左右移动。两种情况下的目光接触都是通过眼球追踪来确认的。在人与机器人的眼神接触中，人类社会系统的神经活动增加，包括右颞顶叶交界处和背外侧前额叶皮层，而不是人与机器人的眼神接触。这表明，这里使用的人机目光接触的类型不足以参与人类的右颞顶叶连接。本研究为未来的人机目光接触研究奠定了基础，以确定机器人设计和行为的元素如何在这种类型的交互中影响人类的社会处理，并可能为捕捉难以量化的人机交互成分（如社会参与）提供一种方法。
Robot design to simulate interpersonal social interaction is an active area of research with applications in therapy and companionship. Neural responses to eye-to-eye contact in humans have recently been employed to determine the neural systems that are active during social interactions. Whether eye-contact with a social robot engages the same neural system remains to be seen. Here, we employ a similar approach to compare human-human and human-robot social interactions. We assume that if human-human and human-robot eye-contact elicit similar neural activity in the human, then the perceptual and cognitive processing is also the same for human and robot. That is, the robot is processed similar to the human. However, if neural effects are different, then perceptual and cognitive processing is assumed to be different. In this study neural activity was compared for human-to-human and human-to-robot conditions using near infrared spectroscopy for neural imaging, and a robot (Maki) with eyes that blink and move right and left. Eye-contact was confirmed by eye-tracking for both conditions. Increased neural activity was observed in human social systems including the right temporal parietal junction and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during human-human eye contact but not human-robot eye-contact. This suggests that the type of human-robot eye-contact used here is not sufficient to engage the right temporoparietal junction in the human. This study establishes a foundation for future research into human-robot eye-contact to determine how elements of robot design and behavior impact human social processing within this type of interaction and may offer a method for capturing difficult to quantify components of human-robot interaction, such as social engagement.
