We propose a computational model of joint attention consisting of three parts: responding to joint attention, initiating joint attention, and ensuring joint attention. This model is supported by psychological findings and matches the developmental timeline in humans. We present two experiments that test this model and investigate joint attention in human-robot interaction. The first experiment ...
