Abstract |
We studied how a fellow passenger robot
influences drivers. The fellow passenger robot was designed
to move and speak as if it knows the surroundings of the car.
We conducted experiments with a driving simulator and
evaluated the effectiveness of the robot with various
methods. We used questionnaires to ask for impressions of
the driving experience for the participants after the driving
experiments with the fellow passenger robot. In addition, the
car speed, acceleration and steering angle were measured
during the driving experiments. Some significant differences
between experiences with and without robot were found in
the results with regard to impression evaluation and average
speed. Therefore, we found that the robot makes driving
more enjoyable and that drivers drive slower than without
the robot. |
