Towards Learning How to Properly Play UNO with the iCub Robot
This work addresses the problem of improving social interactions for users in HRI, but it is incremental as it outlines a roadmap rather than presenting new results.
The paper proposes a roadmap for developing multimodal research to enable robots to provide proper social responses in Human-Robot Interaction scenarios, focusing on emotional changes and intrinsic affective appraisal.
While interacting with another person, our reactions and behavior are much affected by the emotional changes within the temporal context of the interaction. Our intrinsic affective appraisal comprising perception, self-assessment, and the affective memories with similar social experiences will drive specific, and in most cases addressed as proper, reactions within the interaction. This paper proposes the roadmap for the development of multimodal research which aims to empower a robot with the capability to provide proper social responses in a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenario.
