近年来，人们对环境辅助生活（AAL）进行了研究，对监控生活环境以减轻护理负担的服务的需求有所增加。因此，我们提出了一种基于移动机器人依恋行为模型的 AAL 应用非语言人机通信方法。这样可以实时感知环境内的情况，减轻用户的负担。我们使用etho-robot作为AAL系统的用户界面来提供有用的监控服务。 etho-robot 模仿狗的依恋行为，可以减轻人类和机器人之间的压力交流。此外，我们还设计了为etho-robot 提供有关人的状态通知的行为。将移动机器人集成为 AAL 系统的用户界面将使通信在空间上变得灵活。我们进行了一项实验，以评估当机器人执行通知功能时，人类是否能够正确识别机器人的附着行为。当机器人具有这样的功能时，我们讨论模仿狗的依恋行为的有用性。
In recent years, ambient assisted living (AAL) has studied and a demand for services that monitors living environments to reduce the burden of nursing care has increased. Therefore, we propose an approach of nonverbal human-robot communication for AAL applications based on an attachment behavior model for a mobile robot. This can sense the situation within the environment in real time with less burden on the user. We use an etho-robot as the user interface of an AAL system for useful monitoring services. The etho-robot mimics dogs' attachment behaviors and can provide less stressful communication between humans and robots. In addition, we design behavior for providing notification about a person's status for the etho-robot. The integration of a mobile robot as a user interface of the AAL system will make the communication spatially flexible. We conducted an experiment to evaluate whether humans can correctly recognize the attachment behavior of the etho-robot when the robot performs its notification function. We discuss the usefulness of mimicking a dog's attachment behavior when the robot has such a function.
