However until recently there has been no method to automatically capture fine-grained face-to-face interactions between people, to better model the diffusion process.

Social Gaze Behavior for Face to Face Human-Robot Interaction

This short paper discusses the importance of human-like gaze behaviors for humanoid robots with physical eyes. It gives a brief overview of the functions gaze fullfills in human-human interactions from a social evolutionary perspective. In the second part we describe how human-like gaze has been implemented in robot in the research field of social robotics in the last years. The last part of th...
