Abstract: | The current concept of robots has been greatly influenced by the image of robots from science fiction. Since robots were introduced
into human society as partners with them, the importance of human–robot interaction has grown. In this paper, we have designed
seven musical sounds, five of which express intention and two that express emotion for the English teacher robot, Silbot.
To identify the sound design considerations, we analyzed the sounds of robots, R2-D2 and Wall-E, from two popular movies,
Star Wars and Wall-E, respectively. From the analysis, we found that intonation, pitch, and timbre are dominant musical parameters to express
intention and emotion. To check the validity of these designed sounds for intention and emotion, we performed a recognition
rate experiment. The experiment showed that the five designed sounds for intentions and the two for emotions are sufficient
to deliver the intended emotions. |
