Cover Story: The study investigated the pre-touch reaction distance around touchable upper body parts, i.e., shoulders, elbows, and hands, based on human–human pre-touch interaction. The effects of gender, approach side, speed, and acclimation were analyzed for modeling a pre-touch reaction distance. It was found that distance around the hands is smaller than distance around the shoulders and elbows, and speed and acclimation affect the distance. On the other hand, gender and approach side do not significantly affect the pre-touch reaction distance. Finally, the results were implemented in a male-looking android, reacting to pre-touch based on the obtained model. View this paper
