This paper reports the docking and metaphor effects on persuasion among multi-robot healthcare systems. The goal of our research is to make a robot friend that lives with its users and persuades them to make appropriate healthcare decisions. To realize such a robot friend, we propose a physical approach called docking as well as a contextual approach called metaphor to perform relational inheritance among multi-robot systems. We implemented a multi-robot persuasion system based on the two approaches and verified its effectiveness. The experimental results revealed that users emphasize interpersonal relationships to decide whether to follow the robot's advice when utilizing the metaphor approach, and that users emphasize robot aggressiveness when utilizing docking approach.
