Improving Human-Robot Interaction with a Social Attention System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present our work on building a social attention system for our sociable robot Leonardo. This system improves the robot’s capabilities when interacting with people, particularly in learning scenarios. We discuss reasons for building such a system, the implementation of the system, and then present an example interaction where such a system is useful. We conclude by discussing other ways in which an attention system would be useful in interactive systems.

Evaluating the Effect of Saliency Detection and Attention Manipulation in Human-Robot Interaction
The ability to share the attention with another individual is essential for having intuitive interaction. Two relatively simple, but important prerequisites for this, saliency detection and attention manipulation by the robot, are identified in the first part of the paper. By creating a saliency based attentional model combined with a robot ego-sphere and by adopting attention manipulation skil...

متن کاملSupporting Human-Robot Interaction Based on the Level of Visual Focus of Attention
We propose a human–robot interaction approach for social robots that attracts and controls the attention of a target person depending on her/his current visual focus of attention. The system detects the person’s current task (attention) and estimates the level by using the “task-related contextual cues” and “gaze pattern.” The attention level is used to determine the suitable time to attract th...
