阅读他人的情感是成功的人际交往的关键。如果我们想象在人类环境中使用机器人，机器人表达情感的能力将有助于人类与人工智能体进行交流。在机器人情感表达的研究中，主要采用了对话、面部表情和简单的手势。然而，需要另一种表达情感的方式来实现各种场景中的表达。本研究以步态所传达的情绪为研究对象，探讨仿人机器人在步态中表达情绪的有效性。在实验中，我们产生了5种机器人的情感步态，并将它们展示给参与者。然后，参与者预测机器人的情绪。这个实验是在日本和法国进行的，以调查一些文化差异。因此，这项研究表明，它是可能的，以传达情感的步态的人形机器人，也有一个文化差异，在预测情绪。
Reading other's emotions is the key of a successful human-human communication. If we imagine using robots in human environment, the ability of robots to express emotions will help human communicate with the artificial agents. In studies about robots' expressing emotions, conversations, facial expression and simple gestures are mainly used. However, another way to express emotions is necessary to enable the expression in various scenes. This study focused on emotions conveyed by gait and examined the effectiveness of expression of emotions of a humanoid robot during gait. In the experiment, we generated 5 kinds of robot's emotional gait and showed them to the participants. Then participants forecast robot's emotion. This experiment was performed in Japan and in France, to investigate some cultural differences. As a result, this study shows that it is possible to convey emotions by gait for a humanoid robot and also that there is a cultural difference in forecasting emotions.
