| Abstract | While social robots are entering our lives, it is important to establish a human-like and natural interaction between robots and humans. According to previous researches, in some situations, robotic systems appear to induce more humanlike and natural interactions when they are designed as multiparty robot setups rather than as single robots ones. In this paper, we present our two multi-party based, social robots. First, we will present the Sociable Trash Box (STB). The STB is a child-oriented robot that walks through public spaces for the purpose of tracking humans and gaining their assistance in trash collection. The results of this study indicated that a group of STBs has a better effect on conveying the robots' intention to children, also, the similar interpersonal distances to that between humans, based on human's proxemics. Second, we will present findings on our NAMIDA project. NAMIDA was designed as a social interface for drivers that includes three sociable robots which can convey location-based information by utilizing multi-party conversation. The results of this study demonstrated that the multi-party conversation approach is more effective in reducing certain workload factors of drivers as well as making the robots seem more autonomous, animated and natural. |
