Title
Characteristics of Formative Factor Influencing Robot Design`s Preference Response
 
Abstract
The fundamental goal of this study is to analyze characteristics of combined relations of formative element factors that compose robot`s face based on a result of preference response from robot`s design. Also, in order to improve preference from the analysis result, this study intended to inquire into possibilities of suggesting design guideline. For these, pictures of 27 different kinds of robot faces were selected as experimental stimuli, and experiments of preference response and association response were performed. As a result of the experiments, various characteristics were achieved such as robot`s eye shape having greater influences than facial structure, etc. Based on the result, formative element factor characteristics that could positively influence preference response on robot`s face could be drawn and a basic design guideline could also be suggested. An eye should be oval so that the length-to-width ratio may be 1.67:1. The distance between both eyes should be 35% of the facial width. Also, eyes should be above the central latitude of the face so that they may be visually stable. It is advisable to round the face generally. Eyes should be harmonious with the face so that the robot may seem cute and charming.
