Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose to use a humanoid robot for remote communication with multimodal information and report the experimental results of comparing the proposed system with a "face-to-face" mode and a "video conferencing" mode. Our system is shown to be more effective than video conferencing in terms of determining whether a remote user is actively listening or not. In this system, the head motion of a remote user is transferred and expressed by the head motion of a humanoid robot. When using the video conferencing system, it is very difficult to determine the extent of a remote user's attention. In contrast, the experimental results demonstrated that the humanoid robot could help local users to sense remote users' attention states more naturally.
