"Synchrony" as a way to choose an interacting partner

چکیده
Robots are poised to fill a growing number of roles in todays society. In future, we could have robots expected to behave as companion in our home, offices etc. Moving to social robotics imply to address several issues related to human-robot interactions for instance, how the robot can develop an attentional mechanism and select an interacting agent among several interactants. We took our inspiration from neurobiological and psychological studies suggesting that synchrony is an essential parameter for social interaction. We assumed that synchrony detection could be used for intitiating human robot interaction. We present a neural network architecture able to focus the attention of the robot and to select an interacting partner on the basis of synchrony detection.

A synchrony-based perspective for partner selection and attentional mechanism in human-robot interaction
Future robots must co-exist and directly interact with human beings. Designing these agents imply solving hard problems linked to human-robot interaction tasks. For instance, how a robot can choose an interacting partner among various agents and how a robot locates regions of interest in its visual field. Studies of neurobiology and psychology collectively named synchrony as an indispensable pa...

متن کاملModelling Interaction Dynamics during Face-to-Face Interactions
During face to face interactions, the emotional state of each participant is greatly affected by the behavior of other participants and how much this behavior conforms with common protocols of interaction in the society. Research in human to human interaction in face to face situations has uncovered many forms of synchrony in the behavior of the interacting partners. This includes factors as bo...
متن کاملSynchronous Rhythmic Interaction Enhances Children’s Perceived Similarity and Closeness towards Each Other
Inter-personal synchronization is important for performing many cooperative tasks. Notably, synchrony has also been shown to have considerable positive social influences, possibly mediated by synchrony-induced changes in social attitude such as an increased sense of similarity and affiliation between interacting individuals. This effect has been demonstrated in adults, but it is unknown whether...
متن کاملSocial synchronization of circadian locomotor activity rhythm in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
Circadian clocks regulate the physiology and behaviour of organisms across a wide range of taxa. To keep track of local time, these clocks use a variety of time cues such as light-dark, temperature, food availability and social interaction cycles. This study assessed the role of social cues in modulating circadian clocks of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Using pair-wise interactions, we...
