Affective Interaction Between Humans and Robots

Abstract

This paper explores the role of emotive responses in communicative behavior between robots and humans. Done properly, affective communication should be natural and intuitive for people to understand. This implies that the robot's emotive behavior should be life-like. The ability to establish and maintain a rich affective dynamic with people has placed important constraints on our robotic implementation. We present our framework, discuss how these constraints have been addressed, and demonstrate the robot's ability to engage naive human subjects in a compelling and expressive manner.
