(2007) : Towards Realistic Facial Behaviour in Humanoids - Mapping from Video Footage to a Robot Head: 2007 IEEE 10th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics: Piscataway NJ: IEEE, S. 833-840
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ICORR.2007.4428521 Abstract: Rehabilitation robotics and physical therapy could greatly benefit from engaging and motivating, robotic caregivers which respond in accordance to patients’ emotional and social cues. Recent studies indicate that human-machine interactions are more believable and memorable when a physical entity is present, provided that the machine behaves in a realistic manner. It is desirable to adopt face-to-face communication because it is the most natural and efficient way of exchanging information and does not require users to alter their habits. Towards this end, we describe a process for animating a robot head, based on video input of a human head. We map from the 2D coordinates of feature points into the robot’s servo space using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Learning is done using a small set of keyframes manually created by an animator. The method is efficient, robust to tracking errors and independent of the scale of the face being tracked.

(2006) : Modeling Affect in Socially Interactive Robots: ROMAN 2006 - The 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication: ROMAN 2006 - The 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human: Hatfield, UK: IEEE, S. 558-563
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2006.314448 Abstract: Humans use expressions of emotion in a very social manner, to convey messages such as "I'm happy to see you" or "I want to be comforted," and people's long-term relationships depend heavily on shared emotional experiences. We believe that for robots to interact naturally with humans in social situations they should also be able to express emotions in both short-term and long-term relationships. To this end, we have developed an affective model for social robots. This generative model attempts to create natural, human-like affect and includes distinctions between immediate emotional responses, the overall mood of the robot, and long-term attitudes toward each visitor to the robot. This paper presents the general affect model as well as particular details of our implementation of the model on one robot, the Roboceptionist

(2006) : Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction Framework for a Personal Robot: The 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2006: RO-MAN 2006 ; 6-8 Sept. 2006, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom ; proceedings: RO-MAN 2006: The 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication: Hatfield: 9/6/2006 - 9/8/2006. IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication; IEEE Ro-Man: Piscataway, NJ: IEEE, S. 39-44
Abstract: This paper presents a framework for multimodal human-robot interaction. The proposed framework is being implemented in a personal robot called Maggie, developed at RoboticsLab of the University Carlos III of Madrid for social interaction research. The control architecture of this personal robot is a hybrid control architecture called AD (automatic-deliberative) that incorporates an emotion control system (ECS). Maggie's main goal is to interact establish a peer-to-peer relationship with humans. To achieve this goal, a set of human-robot interaction skills are developed based on the proposed framework. The human-robot interaction skills imply tactile, visual, remote voice and sound modes. The multi-modal fusion and synchronization are also presented in this paper.

(2005) : Fostering common ground in human-robot interaction: ROMAN 2005. IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2005: ROMAN 2005. IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2005: Nashville, TN, USA: IEEE, S. 729-734
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2005.1513866 Abstract: Effective communication between people and interactive robots would benefit if they have a common ground of understanding. I discuss how the common ground principle of least collective effort can be used to predict and design human robot interactions. Social cues lead people to create a mental model of a robot and estimates of its knowledge. People’s mental model and knowledge estimate would, in turn, influence the effort they expend to communicate with the robot. People would explain their message in less detail to a knowledgeable robot with which they have more common ground. This process can be leveraged to design interactions that have an appropriate style of robot direction and that accommodate to differences among people.

(2005) : Human perspective on affective robotic behavior: a longitudinal study: 2005 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems: Edmonton, AB, Canada, 2-6 August 2005: 2005 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems: Edmonton, Alta., Canada: 8/2/2005 - 8/2/2005. IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems; Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers: Piscataway, N.J: IEEE Operations Center, S. 1444-1451
Abstract: Humans are inherently social creatures, and affect plays no small role in their social nature. We use our emotional expressions to communicate our internal state, our moods assist or hinder our interactions on a daily basis, we constantly form lasting attitudes towards others, and our personalities make us uniquely predisposed to perform certain tasks. In this paper, we present a framework under development that combines these four areas of affect to influence robotic behavior, and describe initial results of a longitudinal human-robot interaction study. The study was designed to inform the development of the framework in order to increase ease and pleasantness of human-robot interaction.

(2004) : Working collaboratively with humanoid robots: 2004 4th IEEE/RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, 2004: 10-12 Nov. 2004, [Santa Monica, CA ; proceedings]: 2004 4th IEEE/RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots: Santa Monica, CA, USA: 10-12 Nov. 2004. International Conference on Humanoid Robots; IEEE/RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots: Piscataway, NJ: IEEE Operations Center, S. 253-272
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of our work towards building humanoid robots that can work alongside people as cooperative teammates. We present our theoretical framework based on a novel combination of joint intention theory and collaborative discourse theory, and demonstrate how it can be applied to allow a human to work cooperatively with a humanoid robot on a joint task using speech, gesture, and expressive cues. Such issues must be addressed to enable many new and exciting applications for humanoid robots that require them to assist ordinary people in daily activities or to work as capable members of human-robot teams.
