“…, 2020) have argued that 3D printing allows higher product customization without incurring any cost penalties in manufacturing, facilitating the production of complex and integrated functional designs in a one-step process. In the same vein, collaborative robots are claimed to improve operational flexibility and efficiency towards higher customization (Li et al. , 2021), even in labor-intensive manufacturing processes (Ronzoni et al.…”

PurposeThis paper examines the relationship between different manufacturing strategies and Industry 4.0's (I4.0) critical success factors (CSFs) and technology adoption.Design/methodology/approachFor that, the authors surveyed 165 practitioners from different manufacturers. Participants provided information about the levels of product customization and production volume in their companies. They also indicated the adoption level of I4.0 technologies and CSFs. Using multivariate data techniques, the authors identified four clusters of different manufacturing strategies and two readiness levels based on the establishment of I4.0 CSFs. The adoption level of I4.0 technologies was then cross compared among clusters to identify which technologies are more likely to be supported.FindingsThe findings indicate that, in low-readiness companies, the adoption level of I4.0 technologies does not significantly differ between manufacturing strategies. However, when companies present a higher I4.0 readiness, the adoption of I4.0 technologies seem to vary according to the existing manufacturing strategy.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on the influence that manufacturing strategies may have on the digital transformation of companies, highlighting which strategies are more likely to offer a context to successfully adopt I4.0 technologies. The identification of these relationships helps to define the expectation regarding the company's digital transformation, determining coherent benchmarks and allowing managers to anticipate potential issues.

“…The experiment proceeds as follows: [1] The robot initiates the interaction by hitting its drum with a wooden stick. [2] The participant is instructed to hit his/her drum (similar to the robot's) after the robot first hits the drum and then alternatively hitting the drum for 40 seconds.…”

“…During the rating period, the participants were asked to provide subjective ratings of their impressions regarding the preceding interactions, using a sheet of paper containing five questions in Japanese. The participants answered the first four questions using a visual analog scale (VAS [19]), in which the left endpoint of the scale corresponded to "not at all (0)" and the right endpoint corresponded to "fully (1)." We normalized the value to the range from 0 to 1 for each answer based on this scale.…”

“…The recent development of robotics and artificial intelligence technologies predicts the arrival of a society in which social robots will support human lives as partners [1][2][3]. In order to realize such a society, it is not enough for robots to be highly functional; they must also be friendly to the human mind.…”

Gradual Rhythm Change of a Drumming Robot Enhances the Pseudosense of Leading in Human–Robot Interactions

In order to achieve symbiosis between humans and social robots, it is not enough to simply design a robot with excellent functionality, but it is necessary to give humans a friendly impression of the robot. Rhythmic synchronization is the foundation of social interaction and unity, and it is expected that research on synchronization between humans and robot will contribute to the design theory of robot that can build intimate relationships with humans. Specifically, the sense of leading a rhythm evokes a pleasant emotion. If a communication robot is behaviorally synchronized with humans, a strong sense of unity with the robot could occur in keeping with their sense of leading. However, in rhythmic interactions, having the sense of leading the rhythm often differs from the actual rhythm leading. We conducted three kinds of experiments to examine whether a pseudosense of leading occurred in human-robot or human-human drumming interactions. At the experiment 1, we used an interaction task of human-robot drumming to examine whether participants experienced a strong sense of leading when interacting with a robot drumming with gradual rhythm fluctuations and whether the sense of leading the rhythm induced a positive impression of the robot. As a result, we found that a pseudosense of leading the rhythm and the pleasant emotion of drumming occurred even from the artificial robot's rhythm, notably when the rhythm of the robot changed gradually. At the experiment 2, we also showed that the pseudosense of leading was not likely to occur in the drumming between humans. Finally, at the experiment 3, we found that the pseudosense of leading would induce anthropomorphic impressions of the robots. These findings may contribute to designing interactive robots' rhythmic behavior to realize symbiosis between humans and robots.INDEX TERMS pseudosense of leading, drumming interaction, anthropomorphic impression.
