Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate preferred human motions and their physical characteristics to provide guidelines for the design of silver robot motions for the elderly. A two-phase empirical study was conducted to investigate human motions preferred by people. In the first phase, four representative human motions were captured through video recording. 10 young and 6 elderly people participated in this phase. In the second phase, the communication efficacy, types of invoked emotion, and satisfaction level for the human motions recorded in the first phase were measured by having 35 young and 30 elderly participants answer a questionnaire. It was found that the preferred motions were significantly influenced by gender rather than age. Also, the physical characteristics of the preferred motions were analyzed. Based on these results, the guidelines for the design of silver robot motions have been provided.
