With the rapid development in science and technology, many countries engage in the research of Human-robot interaction (HRI), hoping to understand users’ attitudes towards robots in order to solve the problem of communication problems between human and robot. According to the report of Strategy Review Board (SRB) held by the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2010, with reference to the zoning of the global market, there will be sales of about 10500 thousand domestic robots, the maximum in the Asian Pacific area from 2010 to 2017, forming the second largest market in the world. According to literature review, due to different communication patterns between users and robots, there will be different presentation means that affect the responses. How should robots enter everyday life in the future? How should we communicate and interact with them? In this paper, these issues will be examined and discussed. The research methods mainly examine four different kinds of presentation means regarding the differences in the interaction between domestic robots and testees. The four presentation means are: (1) the participants and physical robot interact in the same space; (2) the participants and remote robots interact in different spaces through LCD displays; (3) the participants interact with the virtual agents by using smartphones; (4) the participants interact with the virtual agents displayed on LCD monitors. A total of 80 participants were arranged randomly in different groups for non-repetitive experiment to avoid sensory overload. The research results are two-fold: (1) interaction with different presentation equipment affects the participants’ intention of interaction to certain degrees. The interaction between the participants with physical robots constitutes more feelings of pleasure and perceived sociability, constituting higher social influence than other presentation means. Comparatively speaking, physical robots give users the general understanding that they are valuable technology, constituting more anxiety during the experiment process. (2) Physical robots attract more attention than other presentation means. It is hoped that with this research it will be possible to provide related suggestions for researchers in the development of human-robot interaction.
