Résumé:
This paper deals with the design and the evaluation of human-like robot movements. Three criteria were proposed and evaluated regarding their impact on the human-likeness of the robot movements: the inertia of the base, the inertia of the end-effector and the velocity profile. A specific tool was designed to generate different levels of anthropo-morphism according to these three parameters. An industrial use case was designed to compare several robot movements. This use case was implemented with a virtual robot arm in a virtual environment, using virtual reality. A user study was conducted to determine what were the important criteria in the perception of human-like robot movements and what were their correlations with other notions such as safety and preference. The results showed that inertia on the end-effector was of most importance for a movement to be perceived as human-like and non-aggressive, and that those characteristics helped the users feel safer, less stressed and more willing to work with the robot.
