Early Experiments using Motivations to Regulate Human-Robot Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results of some early experiments with an autonomous robot to demonstrate its ability to regulate the intensity of social interaction with a human. The mode of social interaction is that of a caretaker-infant pair where a human acts as the caretaker for the robot. With respect to this type of socially situated learning, the ability to regulate the intensity of the interaction is important for promoting and maintaing a suitable learning environment where the learner (infant or robot) is neither overwhelmed nor under stimulated. The implementation and early demonstrations of this skill by our robot is the topic of this paper.

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
متن کاملInfant-like Social Interactions between a Robot and a Human Caregiver
From birth, human infants are immersed in a social environment that allows them to learn by leveraging the skills and capabilities of their caregivers. A critical pre-cursor to this type of social learning is the ability to maintain interaction levels that are neither overwhelming nor under-stimulating. In this paper, we present a mechanism for an autonomous robot to regulate the intensity of i...

متن کاملWorkspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
