| Background In recent years, the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has increasingly emphasized the importance of fostering emotional intimacy, highlighting the need for research that overcomes the limitations of function-oriented approaches. In this context, the present study aims to complement the functional paradigm and explore HRI design strategies focused on emotional interaction through an integrated approach that combines interpersonal relationship theory with artificial intelligence technology.
Methods The study established its theoretical foundation through a literature review and conducted a parallel case analysis. The analysis targeted 20 major academic papers published since 2020 and nine social robot cases presented at major international exhibitions. Based on the analytical framework derived from the literature review, the cases were classified by type and comparatively analyzed.
Result The analysis revealed that combining affective interaction technology with interpersonal strategies enhances user engagement and the continuity of interaction. Based on these findings, the study proposes the following three HRI design strategies for fostering emotional intimacy: First, the development of precise emotion recognition systems and context-adaptive response mechanisms is necessary. Second, interaction models that incorporate core elements of interpersonal relationships―such as empathy, trust, and attachment―should be established. Third, a comprehensive design approach that embraces cultural diversity is required.
Conclusion This study is significant in that it proposes HRI design strategies for fostering emotional intimacy between humans and robots by integrating interpersonal relationship theory with AI technology. However, the explanations regarding the actual implementation and technical architecture are somewhat limited, and the scope of case analysis is restricted. Future research should address these limitations by specifying the practical implementation of the proposed strategies and verifying their long-term effectiveness. |
