Abstract(in English) In case the conversation support robot to participate in the multi-party conversation among people encourages the participants in silence to talk, two kinds of the support scheme for the robot are considered. One is the method obligate to speak a talk through directing eye contacts toward specified participants. The other method is to invite a talk even from anyone of the participants without eye contacts. In this study, to develop the conversation support robot which selectively uses these two methods properly depending on the situation and case of conversation, the construction of the robot called Neut capable of adjusting eye contact direction for the two methods is in progress. This paper is to discuss what kind of transformation results in the conversation structure caused by the two support methods of Neut.
