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.

-
1.
Pick an example of the way of measuring one’s preference and then discuss its strong and weak points.
-
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.
