Attentional Gestures in Dialogues between People and Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Attentional gestures in dialogues provide critical cues to the focus of attention of the participants in the dialogues. Attentional gestures are evidence of the engagement process by which participants start, maintain and end their perceived connection to one another. This article investigates engagement and gestures that indicate engagement. It then applies these concepts to the development of a humanoid robot that converses with a human participant. Evaluations of conversations between people and the robot consider the effects of looking and nodding gestures.
