Investigators discuss new findings in Robotics. According to news reporting out of Shenyang, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Robot touch is a vital interaction mode for emotional communication and human mental support in HRI. However, little is known about how robot touch characteristics influence the users’ subjective perception of emotion and physiological reactions.” Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Northeastern University, “Therefore, a within-subject experiment of robot touches was conducted with the touch type (contact versus grip), length (long versus short), and location (hand versus forearm) as independent variables. The subjective perception was measured with PANAS scales. Electrocardiography (ECG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) were utilized to measure the participant’s cardiac autonomic nervous system responses and cerebral central nervous system responses. Results showed that touch type and length jointly affected users’ subjective perception of emotion and cerebral activity, and location affected users’ heart rate variability and cerebral activity. The results suggest that robot short-grip and long-contact behaviors might bring users more positive emotions.”
