Abstract: | The use of an agent in the environment, as in medical treatment, welfare, the construction field, and the home, is examined.
It is necessary for the agent to be able to work cooperatively with a human, and that may be a problem. Therefore, this study
pays attention to the phenomenon that is called entrainment. This is the phenomenon where the rhythm of a certain person and
the partner in the communication is synchronized. The purpose of this study is to perform a basic examination into applying
an entrainment in order to realize cooperation in operations between a human and an agent. Since many human rhythms are expressed
by a nonlinear oscillator, we simulated limited cycle oscillators, which are one of two nonlinear oscillators that cause interactions
between agents, as the basic examination for this achievement. Consequently, entrainment of limited cycle oscillators with
rhythms which differ has been checked in certain conditions. As a result, the possibility that cooperative movement could
be gained was suggested. |
