Abstract

This paper reports on an experimental investigation into the use of humanoid robots as a communication medium. Many social robots have been developed and tried for use in urban environments, but due to their limited perception, their degree of interactivity is still far poorer than that of humans. In this study, our approach used the robots as a non-interactive medium. We propose using robots as a passive-social medium, in which multiple robots converse with each other.
