Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is known that teleoperators of android robots occasionally experience bodily image extension. Even though only visual feedback is provided, when others touch at the robotic body, the operator feels as if s/he had been touched. A similar phenomenon named "Rubber Hand Illusion" is known which is said to reflect a three-way interaction among vision, touch and proprioception. In this research, we examined whether similar interaction occurs when replacing tactile sensation with synchronization of operating an android robot. The result showed that as the degree of synchronization raise, the participants began feeling the robotic body as part of their own body.
