Online and Unsupervised Face Recognition for Humanoid Robot: Toward Relationship with People
نویسنده
چکیده
The Problem: The ability to distinguish among different individuals is crucial for all social animals. Observations of behavior within dolphin male coalitions indicate that dolphins are able to not only recognize friends, but also keep track of their previous behavior to predict future action. This work addresses the questions of how one may implement such social competence in a humanoid robot. Information about various people’s identities (appearance, behavior, etc) that we acquire through our daily social experience is so rich and complex that manually encoding them into a database for the robot to memorize is very limiting. In this project, we focus on extending current face technology to allow the robot to opportunistically learn about individuals and their characteristics in an online and unsupervised manner through embodied social interaction.

Recognizing and remembering individuals: online and unsupervised face recognition for humanoid robot
Individual recognition is a widely reported phenomenon in the animal world, where it contributes to successful maternal interaction, parental care, group breeding, cooperation, mate choice, etc. This work addresses the question of how one may implement such social competence in a humanoid robot. We argue that the robot must be able to recognize people and learn about their various characteristi...

متن کاملA few days of a robot's life in the human's world: toward incremental individual recognition
This thesis presents an integrated framework and implementation for Mertz, an expressive robotic creature for exploring the task of face recognition through natural interaction in an incremental and unsupervised fashion. The goal of this thesis is to advance toward a framework which would allow robots to incrementally “get to know” a set of familiar individuals in a natural and extendable way. ...
