Affective Interaction between Humans and Robots

چکیده
This paper explores the role of emotive responses in communicative behavior between robots and humans. Done properly, affective communciation should be natural and intuitive for people to understand. This implies that the robot’s emotive behavior should be life-like. The ability to establish and maintain a rich affective dynamic with people has placed important constraints on our robotic implementation. We present our framework, discuss how these constraints have been addressed, and demonstrate the robot’s ability to engage naive human subjects in a compelling and expressive manner.

On TAMEing robots
The recent decade has seen an upsurge of interest in affective computing; in particular, a number of computational models of emotion have been built and applied in a variety of artificially intelligent systems. In part, this interest was brought about by the growing importance of the idea of social interaction between humans and computers (be it interfaces, autonomous agents, or robots), and th...
متن کاملPhysiological signal processing for affective state estimation during a Human-Robot Interaction
Being able to estimate people’s affective states when interacting with a robot is essential for developing a safe environment where humans and robots work together. In particular, robots need to be able to sense humans around them, identify human reactions and respond accordingly. Physiological signals can be used for this purpose. The aim of this project is to implement wavelet shrinkage techn...
متن کاملEnhancing Collaborative Human-Robot Interaction Through Physiological-Signal Based Communication
In order to develop a friendly and safe interaction between humans and robots, it is essential for the robot to evaluate users’ affective states and respond accordingly. This paper investigates the use of physiological signals to estimate human affective states during a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) task. We focus on characterizing physiological responses and understanding how affective states ...
متن کاملAffective Dialogue Communication System with Emotional Memories for Humanoid Robots
Memories are vital in human interactions. To interact sociably with a human, a robot should not only recognize and express emotions like a human, but also share emotional experience with humans. We present an affective human-robot communication system for a humanoid robot, AMI, which we designed to enable high-level communication with a human through dialogue. AMI communicates with humans by pr...
متن کاملSocial Touch in Human–Computer Interaction
Touch is our primary non-verbal communication channel for conveying intimate emotions and as such essential for our physical and emotional wellbeing. In our digital age, human social interaction is often mediated. However, even though there is increasing evidence that mediated touch affords affective communication, current communication systems (such as videoconferencing) still do not support c...
