Man-Machine Interaction as Co-Emergence Communication

摘要

Human-human system can coordinately self-organize relational functions by their mutual communications. In this study, we aimed to establish a design principle of man-machine system to realize such a co-emergence process in human-human interaction. This developmental dynamics is modeled based on duality of human communication which is composed of simultaneous process in open system and causal relationship in closed system. The former is represented by body model and is to organize coherence between human and machine, and the latter is internal model to separate the coherence into two one-sided actions. Through mutual constraint between these two sub-dynamics, relational functions as a whole system is self-organized in the man-machine interaction. Using this duality model, co-emergence process was realized as a mutual-adaptation between human and machine, and its effectiveness was shown in a walk support robot.
