人机物理交互在社交机器人中发挥着重要作用，而触摸是影响人类对机器人印象的关键因素之一。然而，很少有研究探索与这种相互作用相关的不同条件，因此，只报道了很少的系统结果。作为解决这个问题的第一步，我们研究了人类在触摸机器人的柔软部分时可能体验到的机器人个性印象类型。研究中，一个名为“Affetto”的类似儿童的机器人的左前臂被暴露出来；原来的前臂由硅橡胶制成，可以替换为其他三种前臂中的任何一种，触摸时可提供不同的硬度感觉。参与者被要求触摸机器人的前臂，并针对与不同前臂相关的四种情况中的每一种，回答针对 19 种触摸感觉和 46 种个性印象的评估问卷。通过因子分析方法从评价分数中提取了四个触觉印象因子和三个个性印象印象因子。采用路径分析方法分析这些因素之间的因果关系。我们发现了一些重要的因果关系，例如，更好的触觉和讨人喜欢的个性印象之间。研究结果有望通过促进更系统的触觉设计来帮助设计机器人的个性印象。此外，方差分析的结果表明，最理想的触觉可能与机器人的外观有关，社交机器人的设计者应该了解人类复杂的触觉特性。
Physical human–robot interaction plays an important role in social robotics, and touch is one of the key factors that influence a human’s impression of robots. However, very few studies have explored different conditions pertaining to such interactions, and therefore, only few systematic results have been reported. As the first step toward addressing this issue, we studied the types of impressions of a robot’s personality that humans may experience when they touch a soft part of the robot. In the study, the left forearm of a child-like android robot named “Affetto” was exposed; the original forearm was made of silicone rubber and can be replaced with any one of three other forearms that provide different sensations of hardness upon touching. Participants were asked to touch the robot’s forearm and answer evaluation questionnaires on 19 touch sensations and 46 personality impressions for each of the four conditions associated with the different forearms. Four impression factors for touch sensations and three for personality impressions were extracted from the evaluation scores by the factor analysis method. The causal relationships between these factors were analyzed by the path analysis method. Several significant causal relationships were found, for example, between preferable touch sensations and likable personality impressions. The study results are expected to help in the design of the personality impressions of robots by facilitating a more systematic design of touch sensations. Furthermore, the results of an analysis of variance suggested that the most preferable touch sensation is possibly related to the robot’s appearance and that designers of social robots should understand the complex touch sensation properties of humans.
