Abstract
In this paper, we discuss an autonomous android robot that is recognized as a social entity by observers in the real world. We conducted field experiments to investigate the type of function with which an android should be provided so that it is can be recognized as a social and humanlike entity by observers. In the field experiment, the android conversed with multiple visitors through several touch displays. The results show that the visitors evaluated the android as humanlike, although this type of interaction differs from normal human–human interaction. Moreover, the results of the experiment suggest that the android exerts a social influence-advertisement effect on visitors.
