Abstract
Receipt of response from a robot is a well-known effective factor for the formation of human preference toward the robot and has been utilized for improving human-robot interaction. In this chapter, three hypothetical phenomena regarding this preference formation are derived from recent findings of human cognitive processes and past studies: receipt of proxy response, provoked attention, and mirrored attention. Three psychological studies using human-robot interaction are reviewed, and thereby the ideas, effects, and possibilities of utilizing these phenomena are illustrated.

2.
Discuss the strong and weak points of the three types of psychological experiments of human-robot interaction: using a robot with very humanlike appearance (such as android), using a robot with moderate humanlike appearance (such as M3-Synchy introduced in this chapter), and using a robot with less human likeness (such as Robovie-II or Paro).
-
3.
Design a collective behavior of grouped robots to mediate the process of preference formation.
