Abstract(in English) This paper examine an unprecedented phenomenon in communication between human and intelligent artifacts within the home environment over the course of a 16 day-long experiment. We applied protocol analysis to analyze user utterances recognized by a voice recognition system on the home robot from the cognitive viewpoint. In this paper, two types of analysis have been conducted: (i) time-series analysis and (ii) analysis of differences in each room. The results indicate that (a) users get accustomed over time to the intelligent artifact and its manipulation difficulties, (b) attachment emotions are elicited gradually with the passage of time, and (c) users have gradually mixed cognition for the intelligent artifact, which comes to be recognized both as a cohabitant and as a tool. These findings suggest that (d) the artifact's manipulation difficulties might be counterbalanced by attachment emotions for the robot as "artificial cohabitant". Moreover, (e) users' cognition is different in each room and their cognition involving the intelligent artifacts is also different.
