Social Motorics – Towards an Embodied Basis of Social Human-Robot Interaction

چکیده
In this paper we present a biologically-inspired model for social behavior recognition and generation. Based on an unified sensorimotor representation, it integrates hierarchical motor knowledge structures, probabilistic forward models for predicting observations, and inverse models for motor learning. With a focus on hand gestures, results of initial evaluations against real-world data are presented.

Conceptual motorics: generation and evaluation of communicative robot gesture
How is communicative gesture behavior in robots perceived by humans? Although gesture is a crucial feature of social interaction, this research question is still largely unexplored in the field of social robotics. The present work thus sets out to investigate how robot gesture can be used to design and realize more natural and human-like communication capabilities for social robots. The adopted...
متن کاملGradual development of human-agent social relationship
To maintain sound social relationships between people and social actors including robots, embodied agents, and computers, both parties in any relationship should continue to have equal social positions. In other words, the social actor should serve as the human’s “teammate” (Fogg, 2003) and not be thought of as a “slave.” To enable the social actor to remain the human’s “teammate,” the human an...
متن کاملWhere Robots and Virtual Agents Meet A Survey of Social Interaction Research across Milgram’s Reality-Virtuality Continuum
Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both areas have started augmenting their agents’ capabilities for social interaction using ubiquitous and intelligent environments. We are placing different agent systems for social ...
متن کاملLook but Don't Stare: Mutual Gaze Interaction in Social Robots
Mutual gaze is a powerful cue for communicating social attention and intention. A plethora of studies have demonstrated the fundamental roles of mutual gaze in establishing communicative links between humans, and enabling non-verbal communication of social attention and intention. The amount of mutual gaze between two partners regulates human-human interaction and is a sign of social engagement...
متن کاملIncreasing Helpfulness towards a Robot by Emotional Adaption to the User
This article describes an emotional adaption approach to proactively trigger increased helpfulness towards a robot in task-related human-robot interaction (HRI). Based on social-psychological predictions of human behavior, the approach aims at inducing empathy, paired with a feeling of similarity in human users towards the robot. This is achieved by two differently expressed emotional control v...
