Towards Robot as an Embodied Knowledge Medium - Having a robot talk to humans using nonverbal communication means

چکیده
Recently, several types of interactive humanoid robots have been developed, and it has become necessary for humans to communicate with robots and treat them not only as intelligent devices but also as cooperative partners. In this paper, by using the task of assembling/disassembling a bicycle as an example, we propose a presenter robot system that can play tutorial videos with a display installed on its arm. In this manner, the robot can convey information regarding the steps and techniques of the operation, which is difficult to express verbally; thus, the robot can function like an operating manual. The robot moves to a suitable position and plays the appropriate video by utilizing the positional information of the user, the objects, and the robot. Since the robot can adjust the position of the display for easy viewing and change its position according to the user, the system can be adapted to different users. The implementation of this robot is expected to facilitate easy understanding by the user and enable him/her to perform a task efficiently.

Motion Design for Nonverbal Communication with a Humanoid Robot
In the near future, humanoid robots will act as the partners of human beings in daily life. Among numerous human-like competencies, motion of humanoid robots is critical for providing humans with richer interactions with such robots. Motion plays an essential role in complementing spoken communication. Moreover, the motions of humanoid robots generate nonverbal communication in various contexts...
متن کامل"Artificial humans": Psychology and neuroscience perspectives on embodiment and nonverbal communication
"Artificial humans", so-called "Embodied Conversational Agents" and humanoid robots, are assumed to facilitate human-technology interaction referring to the unique human capacities of interpersonal communication and social information processing. While early research and development in artificial intelligence (AI) focused on processing and production of natural language, the "new AI" has also t...
متن کاملToward Robots as Embodied Knowledge Media
We describe attempts to have robots behave as embodied knowledge media that will permit knowledge to be communicated through embodied interactions in the real world. The key issue here is to give robots the ability to associate interactions with information content while interacting with a communication partner. Toward this end, we present two contributions in this paper. The first concerns the...
متن کاملEmbodied Cognition for Autonomous Interactive Robots
In the past, notions of embodiment have been applied to robotics mainly in the realm of very simple robots, and supporting low-level mechanisms such as dynamics and navigation. In contrast, most human-like, interactive, and socially adept robotic systems turn away from embodiment and use amodal, symbolic, and modular approaches to cognition and interaction. At the same time, recent research in ...
متن کاملBidirectional Eye Contact for Human-Robot Communication
Eye contact is an effective means of controlling human communication, such as in starting communication. It seems that we can make eye contact if we simply look at each other. However, this alone does not establish eye contact. Both parties also need to be aware of being watched by the other. We propose a method of bidirectional eye contact satisfying these conditions for human-robot communicat...
