Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the impressions of users when a humanoid robot is dressed in uniforms that match tasks. Increasingly more robots, such as humanoid robots, can perform multiple tasks on a single machine. In such a case, it is important to design the appearance of robots and their uniforms according to the content of the task because these factors are known to express their level of expertise and technical ability. In our proposed method, a robot changes its appearance dynamically by replacing its uniform with one that matches a task before performing it. The results of our simulator-based experiments indicated that, compared with robots that do not wear a uniform, robots that changed their uniform to match a task were interpreted as being more appropriate, even after making mistakes.
