我们的研究目标是发现个体之间自然交流的基本原则，并建立一种方法，用于开发具有表达能力的人形机器人。为此，我们开发了与人类非常相似的机器人。机器人使我们能够研究许多与人类互动有关的现象，这些现象无法用机械外观的机器人进行研究。这是因为越来越多的类人设备处于更好的位置，可以引发人们相互之间的反应。此外，我们不能忽视外表在给我们一个人的存在或智力的主观印象方面的作用。然而，这种印象受到行为以及外表和行为之间复杂关系的影响。本文提出了一个关于外观和行为之间关系的假设，并为机器人研究制定了一个计划来调查这一假设。然后，我们检查了一项研究，根据他们引起的凝视行为来评估机器人的人类相似性。像这样的研究，将机器人的发展与人类行为的调查结合起来，构成了一个融合工程和科学的新研究领域。
Our research goal is to discover the principles underlying natural communication among individuals and to establish a methodology for the development of expressive humanoid robots. For this purpose we have developed androids that closely resemble human beings. The androids enable us to investigate a number of phenomena related to human interaction that could not otherwise be investigated with mechanical-looking robots. This is because more human-like devices are in a better position to elicit the kinds of responses that people direct toward each other. Moreover, we cannot ignore the role of appearance in giving us a subjective impression of human presence or intelligence. However, this impression is influenced by behavior and the complex relationship between appearance and behavior. This paper proposes a hypothesis about how appearance and behavior are related, and maps out a plan for android research to investigate this hypothesis. We then examine a study that evaluates the human likeness of androids according to the gaze behavior they elicit. Studies such as these, which integrate the development of androids with the investigation of human behavior, constitute a new research area that fuses engineering and science.
