Cognitive Effects to Interactions by Relationships between Humans and Agents

摘要

In this research our purpose is to realize a natural interaction between humans and artifacts by an ITACO system. The JTACO system is able to construct a relationship between humans and artifacts by a migratable agent. The agent can migrate to various artifacts within an environment to construct a relationship with humans. We conducted the two experiments to confirm effects for human by a relationship that was constructed between humans and artifacts. The experimental results show that a relationship gave some influences to human's behavior and cognitive abilities. The results, moreover, show that the ITACO system and the migratable agent is an effective method to realize a natural interaction between humans and artifacts.
