Touching a Human or a Robot? Investigating Human-likeness of a Soft Warm Artificial Hand
Original language description
With the advent of different electronic skins sensitive to touch and robots composed of soft materials, tactile or haptic human-robot interaction is gaining importance. We designed a highly realistic artificial hand aiming to reproduce human-to-human physical contact through a special morphology imitating flesh and bones and a heating system imitating human body temperature. The mechanical response properties of different finger designs were analyzed and the most mimetic one came very close to a human finger. We designed three experiments with participants using haptic exploration to evaluate the human-likeness of: (1) finger morphologies; (2) complete hands: real human vs. soft and warm artificial hand vs. rubber hand (3) the hand mounted on a manipulator with fixed vs. passive compliant wrist in a handshake scenario. First, participants find the mimetic finger morphology most humanlike. Second, people can reliably distinguish the real human hand, the artificial one, and a rubber hand. In terms of humanlikeness (Anthropomorphism, Animacy, and Likeability), the human hand scores better than the artificial hand which in turn clearly outperforms the rubber hand. The temperature, or "warmth", was rated as the most human-like feature of the artificial hand.
