Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose an interactive guide plate with a supplementary assist by an embodied stuffed-toy robot. The guide plate consists of multiple regions which have each informative content. The contents are constructed in hierarchical classifications. The system presumes which content the user is interested by detecting the user's gazing region. Correspondingly, the stuffed-toy robot can provide not only supplementary information by its voice and gestures but also a feeling of gaze-communication by gazing behaviors of the robot, joint attention and eye-contact reactions; the former can draw the user's interest to the object. We finally report the results of both demonstration experiments and subjective evaluations on this interactive guide plate.
