It has been suggested that non-verbal modalities such as gestures and postures are important in non-task-oriented dialogue. In particular, in the field of HRI, imitation of robot and human body movements and synchronisation of movements have been found to be important for smooth communication. In this study, interaction experiments focused on non-verbal interaction. In this study, the interaction system SHOSA, in which spatial representation feedback is provided via body movements, is used to interact with a robot using only body movements for approximately five minutes. In the experiment, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the intimacy with the robot and impressions of the interaction through this interaction, and the correlation between the robot and human body movements was analysed using transfer entropy in terms of hand movements and posture. The correlations between the subjective survey through the above questionnaire and the transfer entropy using body movements are discussed.
