This study developed a hug robot called Moffuly-II, which can hug with intra-hug gestures and also touch the user's back or head. The paper describes the robot system and the user's impression of hug with the robot.
There are a lot of positive benefits of hugging, and several studies have applied its application in human-robot interaction. However, due to the limitation of a robot performance, these robots only touched the human's back. In this study, we developed a hug robot, named Moffuly-II. This robot can hug not only with intra-hug gestures, but also touch the user's back or head. This paper describes the robot system and the user's impression of hug with the robot.
