Utilization of Non-verbal Behaviour and Social Gaze in Classroom Human-Robot Interaction Communications
This addresses the challenge of enhancing robot communication in educational settings for students and teachers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing social gaze models.
The paper tackles the problem of improving social interaction in classroom human-robot interactions by adapting human-inspired social gaze models into robot cognitive architecture, with the result being a more seamless interaction, though no concrete numbers are provided.
This abstract explores classroom Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios with an emphasis on the adaptation of human-inspired social gaze models in robot cognitive architecture to facilitate a more seamless social interaction. First, we detail the HRI scenarios explored by us in our studies followed by a description of the social gaze model utilized for our research. We highlight the advantages of utilizing such an attentional model in classroom HRI scenarios. We also detail the intended goals of our upcoming study involving this social gaze model.
