You Can Leave Your Head on - Attention Management and Turn-Taking in Multi-party Interaction with a Virtual Human/Robot Duo
نویسندگان
چکیده
In two small studies, we investigated how a virtual human/ robot duo can complement each other in joint interaction with one or more users. The robot takes care of turn management while the virtual human draws attention to the robot. Our results show that having the virtual human address the robot, highlights the latter’s role in the interaction. Having the robot nonverbally indicate the intended addressee of a question asked by the virtual human proved successful in all cases when the robot was first addressed by the virtual human.

Head Pose Patterns in Multiparty Human-Robot Team-Building Interactions
We present a data collection setup for exploring turn-taking in three-party human-robot interaction involving objects competing for attention. The collected corpus comprises 78 minutes in four interactions. Using automated techniques to record head pose and speech patterns, we analyze head pose patterns in turn-transitions. We find that introduction of objects makes addressee identification bas...
متن کاملP35: How to Manage Anxiety
Anxiety is a mental state that is elicited in anticipation of threat or potential threat. Sensations of anxiety are a normal part of human experience, but excessive or inappropriate anxiety can become an illness. Anxiety is part of the normal human experience. We may speculate that it served human survival during evolution by enhancing preparedness and alertness. However, anxious manifestations...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملCreation of Multimodal Corpus for Modeling Turn Management in Multi-party Conversations
Spoken interactions are known for accurate timing and alignment between interlocutors: turn-taking and topic flow are managed in a manner that provides conversational fluency and smooth progress of the task. When considering applications like robot companions which interact with the user in real time, turn-taking and topic flow are also important. This paper describes creation of multi-modal co...
متن کاملModelling Multi-Party Interactions among Virtual Characters, Robots, and Humans
3D virtual humans and physical human-like robots can be used to interact with people in a remote location in order to increase the feeling of presence. In a telepresence setup, their behaviors are driven by real participants. We envision that in the absence of the real users, when they have to leave or they do not want to do a repetitive task, the control of the robots can be handed to an artif...
