Cognitive Robotics, Embodied Cognition and Human-Robot Interaction

Abstract

The last decade has seen a strong push for more and better autonomous systems. In many cases, autonomous systems and people need to interact to accomplish joint goals. We have been working on developing autonomous systems that interact with people in a variety of ways. Our approach has been from a strong cognitive science viewpoint: we build models of how people think, perceive, and behave, and then put those models on our robots. I will describe our research paradigm and show several demonstrations of our working robots (through video).
