DESCRIPTION:Experimental Study on Social Acceptability of Robots in Japan\n
 \nProfessor Oka will introduce experiments on the social acceptability of 
 robots that his team have done so far and discuss the possible impact of J
 apanese culture and society on robot acceptance. The experiments and the r
 esults include: (1) Social acceptance of erroneous robots: Participants fe
 lt familiarity with a robot that failed. However\, the failed robot did no
 t necessarily get more cooperation. (2) Synchronizing telepresence robot: 
 A telepresence robot was designed to autonomously move in sync with the mu
 sic presented to the operator. The synchronized motion strengthened the fo
 llowing two senses of the operator: (A) the feeling that the movement of t
 he robot is the movement of the operator himself/herself\; (B) the feeling
  that the operator is in the same room as the robot. (3) Robot selectively
  reacting to Infant-directed speech: Talking to a robot with a high-pitche
 d voice\, which is one of the features of infant-directed speech\, tended 
 to improve impressions of the robot.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Prof. Subhas Mukh
