A Robot that Learns to Communicate with Human Caregivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are developing an infant-like humanoid robot, Infanoid , to investigate the underlying mechanisms of social intelligence that will allow it to communicate with human beings and participate in human social activities. We propose an epigenetic model of social intelligence — how the robot acquires communicative behavior through interaction with its social environment, especially with human caregivers. The model has three stages: (1) the acquisition of intentionality, which enables the robot to intentionally use certain methods for obtaining goals, (2) identification with others, which enables it to indirectly experience other people’s behavior, and (3) social communication, in which the robot empathetically understands other people’s behavior by ascribing to the intention that best explains the behavior.

Design and development of ShrewdShoe, a smart pressure sensitive wearable platform
This study introduces a wearable in-shoe system for real-time monitoring and measurement of the plantar pressure distribution of the foot using eleven sensing elements. The sensing elements utilized in ShrewdShoe have been designed in an innovative way, they are based on a barometric pressure sensor covered with a silicon coating. The presented sensing element has great linearity up to 300...
متن کاملJijo-2: An Office Robot that Communicates and Learns
of precise motion, dexterous manipulation, and so forth—capabilities a factory robot requires—the increasingly popular interactive robot must be able to learn from and adapt to its dynamic environment and communicate with people. We have built an office robot, Jijo-2, as a testbed for autonomous intelligent systems that interact and learn in the real world (see Figure 1). Jijo-2’s most notable ...
متن کاملConcurrent Acquisition of the Meaning of Sentence-Final Particles and Nouns Through Human-Robot Interaction
Sentence-final particles serve an important role in spoken Japanese, because they express the speaker's mental attitudes toward a proposition and/or an interlocutor. They are acquired at early ages and occur very frequently in everyday conversation. However, there has been little proposal for a computational model of the acquisition of sentence-final particles. In this paper, we report on a stu...
متن کاملA Robot that Uses Arousal to Detect Learning Challenges and Seek Help
In the context of our work on dyadic robot-human (caregiver) interaction from a developmental robotics perspective, in this paper we investigate how an autonomous robot that explores and learns novel environments can make use of its arousal system to detect situations that constitute learning challenges, and request help from a human at points where this help is most needed and can be most bene...

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
