In recent years, robots are increasingly used in many fields such as the entertainment and nursing, but robot design that concentrates on establishing rapport with humans has not been studied satisfactorily. Therefore, if we elucidate how to improve between humans, can provide more human-friendly service future. this research, focus insects because they differ from respect both body structure appearance. That is, carried out experiments insect-like (both simulations physical robots), order understand what kind of movement could friendliness felt by human observers. Our experimental results suggest is improved perform gaits similar a walking cycle sine wave trajectory low amplitude.
