This study investigates the effects of the facial expressions of an avatar on haptic perception during human-agent interactions by means of physical and psychological measures. Thus far, we demonstrated that changes in facial expressions can generate haptic perception in a system in which a human-like agent on the display behaved as if it pulled the mouse cursor against a human participant control. This paper presents an experiment to evaluate the emotions recognized by the facial expressions designed by the authors. This would enable us to study the relation between recognized emotions and haptic perception.
