Online and Unsupervised Face Recognition for Humanoid Robot: Toward Relationship with People
Abstract
The ability to recognize and remember individuals is crucial and has important implications for the evolution of animal social behavior, particularly complex interactions within groups. Male dolphins have been found to form coalitions, where each group possesses a fertile female. Observation of behavior within the coalitions indicates complex social behavior where dolphins often form coalitions of coalitions , but each sub-coalition mates only with its own female. This implies the existence of complex social interaction, such as preferential treatment, cooperative behavior, and reciprocity [2]. Such a relationship demands the ability to distinguish conspecific group members as individuals and as kin, remember their relative ranks and past affiliations, and in some cases, remembers the personal histories of help given and received from others [3].
