With the widespread use of conversational robots, the study of their social influences, such as conformity, has become a pressing issue. Prior research involving robots has limited its focus to examining the conformity of robots that are in direct human presence. In this study, we investigated the i
Recently, teleoperation systems have been developed enabling a single operator to engage with users across multiple locations simultaneously. However, under such systems, a potential challenge exists where the operator, upon switching locations, may need to join ongoing conversations without a compl
Recent developments in conversational technologies have attracted researchers to study their applications in recommending items through conversations. It is considered that physical robots, rather than virtual ones, are effective in situations in which robots talk about items near participants. Howe
