Effect of robot's vertical body movement on its perceived emotion: A preliminary study on vertical oscillation and transition.

ABSTRACT: The emotion expressions of social robots are some of the most important developments in recent studies on human-robot interactions (HRIs). Several research studies have been conducted to assess effective factors to improve the quality of emotion expression of the robots. In this study, we examined the effects of a robot's vertical oscillation and transition on the quality of its emotion expression, where the former indicates the periodic up/down movement of the body of the robot, while the latter indicates a one-time up or down movement. Short-term and long-term emotion expressions of the robot were studied independently for the four basic emotions described in the circumplex model of emotions: joy, anger, sadness, and relief. We designed an experiment with an adequate statistical power an
