Download or read book Emotional Design in Human Robot Interaction written by Hande Ayanoğlu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While social robots participation increases in everyday human life, their presence in diverse contexts and situations is expected. At the same point, users tend to become more demanding regarding their roles, abilities, behaviour and appearance. Thus, designers and developers are confronted with the need to design more sophisticated robots that can produce such a positive reaction from users so as to become well accepted in various cases of use. Like this, Human-Robot Interaction has become a developing area. Emotions are an important part in human life, since they mediate the interaction with other humans, entities and/or products. In recent years, there has been an increase in the importance of emotions applied to the design field, giving rise to the so-called Emotional Design area. In the case of Human-Robot Interaction, the emotional design can help to elicit (e.g., pleasurable) or prevent (e.g., unpleasant) emotional/affective reactions/responses. This book gives a practical introduction to emotional design in human-robot interaction and supports designers with knowledge and research tools to help them take design decisions based on a User-Centred Design approach. It should also be useful to people interested in design processes, even if not directly related to the design of social robots but, instead, to other technology-based artefacts. The text is meant as a reference source with practical guidelines and advice for design issues.

Download or read book Context Aware Human Robot and Human Agent Interaction written by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to describe how Autonomous Virtual Humans and Social Robots can interact with real people, be aware of the environment around them, and react to various situations. Researchers from around the world present the main techniques for tracking and analysing humans and their behaviour and contemplate the potential for these virtual humans and robots to replace or stand in for their human counterparts, tackling areas such as awareness and reactions to real world stimuli and using the same modalities as humans do: verbal and body gestures, facial expressions and gaze to aid seamless human-computer interaction (HCI). The research presented in this volume is split into three sections: ·User Understanding through Multisensory Perception: deals with the analysis and recognition of a given situation or stimuli, addressing issues of facial recognition, body gestures and sound localization. ·Facial and Body Modelling Animation: presents the methods used in modelling and animating faces and bodies to generate realistic motion. ·Modelling Human Behaviours: presents the behavioural aspects of virtual humans and social robots when interacting and reacting to real humans and each other. Context Aware Human-Robot and Human-Agent Interaction would be of great use to students, academics and industry specialists in areas like Robotics, HCI, and Computer Graphics.
Download or read book Toward Robotic Socially Believable Behaving Systems Volume I written by Anna Esposito and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of research studies on the modeling of emotions in complex autonomous systems. Several experts in the field are reporting their efforts and reviewing the literature in order to shed lights on how the processes of coding and decoding emotional states took place in humans, which are the physiological, physical, and psychological variables involved, invent new mathematical models and algorithms to describe them, and motivate these investigations in the light of observable societal changes and needs, such as the aging population and the cost of health care services. The consequences are the implementation of emotionally and socially believable machines, acting as helpers into domestic spheres, where emotions drive behaviors and actions. The contents of the book are highly multidisciplinary since the modeling of emotions in robotic socially believable systems requires a holistic perspective on topics coming from different research domains such as computer science, engineering, sociology, psychology, linguistic, and information communication. The book is of interest both to experts and students since last research works on a so complex multidisciplinary topic are described in a neat and didactical scientific language.

Download or read book A Bayesian Theory of Mind Approach to Nonverbal Communication for Human robot Interactions written by Jin Joo Lee (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of human social communication is channeled through our facial expressions, body language, gaze directions, and many other nonverbal behaviors. A robot's ability to express and recognize the emotional states of people through these nonverbal channels is at the core of artificial social intelligence. The purpose of this thesis is to define a computational framework to nonverbal communication for human-robot interactions. We address both sides to nonverbal communication, the decoding and encoding of social-emotional states through nonverbal behaviors, and also demonstrate their shared underlying representation. We use our computational framework to model engagement/attention in storytelling interactions. Storytelling is an interaction form that is mutually regulated between storytellers and listeners where a key dynamic is the back-and- forth process of speaker cues and listener responses. Listeners convey attentiveness through nonverbal back-channels, while storytellers use nonverbal cues to elicit this feedback. We demonstrate that storytellers employ plans, albeit short, to influence and infer the attentive state of listeners using these speaker cues.We computationally model the intentional inference of storytellers as a planning problem of getting listeners to pay attention. When accounting for this intentional context of storytellers, our attention estimator outperforms current state-of-the-art approaches to emotion recognition. By formulating emotion recognition as a planning problem, we apply a recent artificial intelligence method of inverting planning models to perform belief inference. We computationally model emotion expression as a combined process of estimating a person's beliefs through inference inversion and then producing nonverbal expressions to affect those beliefs.We demonstrate that a robotic agent operating under our belief manipulation paradigm more effectively communicates an attentive state compared to current state-of- the-art approaches that cannot dynamically capture how the robot's expressions are interpreted by the human partner.

Download or read book Robot Behavior Generation and Human Behavior Understanding in Natural Human Robot Interaction written by Chuang Yu and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a natural interaction makes a significant difference in a successful human-robot interaction (HRI). The natural HRI refers to both human multimodal behavior understanding and robot verbal or non-verbal behavior generation. Humans can naturally communicate through spoken dialogue and non-verbal behaviors. Hence, a robot should perceive and understand human behaviors so as to be capable of producing a natural multimodal and spontaneous behavior that matches the social context. In this thesis, we explore human behavior understanding and robot behavior generation for natural HRI. This includes multimodal human emotion recognition with visual information extracted from RGB-D and thermal cameras and non-verbal multimodal robot behavior synthesis.Emotion recognition based on multimodal human behaviors during HRI can help robots understand user states and exhibit a natural social interaction. In this thesis, we explored multimodal emotion recognition with thermal facial information and 3D gait data in HRI scene when the emotion cues from thermal face and gait data are difficult to disguise. A multimodal database with thermal face images and 3D gait data was built through the HRI experiments. We tested the various unimodal emotion classifiers (i.e., CNN, HMM, Random Forest model, SVM) and one decision-based hybrid emotion classifier on the database for offline emotion recognition. We also explored an online emotion recognition system with limited capability in the real-time HRI setting. Interaction plays a critical role in skills learning for natural communication. Robots can get feedback during the interaction to improve their social abilities in HRI.To improve our online emotion recognition system, we developed an interactive robot learning (IRL) model with the human in the loop. The IRL model can apply the human verbal feedback to label or relabel the data for retraining the emotion recognition model in a long-term interaction situation. After using the interactive robot learning model, the robot could obtain a better emotion recognition accuracy in real-time HRI.The human non-verbal behaviors such as gestures and face action occur spontaneously with speech, which leads to a natural and expressive interaction. Speech-driven gesture and face action generation are vital to enable a social robot to exhibit social cues and conduct a successful HRI. This thesis proposes a new temporal GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) architecture for a one-to-many mapping from acoustic speech representation to the humanoid robot's corresponding gestures. We also developed an audio-visual database to train the speaking gesture generation model. The database includes the speech audio data extracted directly from the videos and the associated 3D human pose data extracted from 2D RGB images. The generated gestures from the trained co-speech gesture synthesizer can be applied to social robots with arms. The evaluation result shows the effectiveness of our generative model for speech-driven robot gesture generation. Moreover, we developed an effective speech-driven facial action synthesizer based on GAN, i.e., given an acoustic speech, a synchronous and realistic 3D facial action sequence is generated. A mapping between the 3D human facial actions to real robot facial actions that regulate the Zeno robot facial expression is completed. The application of co-speech non-verbal robot behaviors (gesture and face action) synthesis for the social robot can make a friendly and natural human-robot interaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing is a definitive reference in the burgeoning field of affective computing (AC), a multidisciplinary field encompassing computer science, engineering, psychology, education, neuroscience, and other disciplines. AC research explores how affective factors influence interactions between humans and technology, how affect sensing and affect generation techniques can inform our understanding of human affect, and on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems involving affect at their core. The volume features 41 chapters and is divided into five sections: history and theory, detection, generation, methodologies, and applications. Section 1 begins with the making of AC and a historical review of the science of emotion. The following chapters discuss the theoretical underpinnings of AC from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. Section 2 examines affect detection or recognition, a commonly investigated area. Section 3 focuses on aspects of affect generation, including the synthesis of emotion and its expression via facial features, speech, postures, and gestures. Cultural issues are also discussed. Section 4 focuses on methodological issues in AC research, including data collection techniques, multimodal affect databases, formats for the representation of emotion, crowdsourcing techniques, machine learning approaches, affect elicitation techniques, useful AC tools, and ethical issues. Finally, Section 5 highlights applications of AC in such domains as formal and informal learning, games, robotics, virtual reality, autism research, health care, cyberpsychology, music, deception, reflective writing, and cyberpsychology. This compendium will prove suitable for use as a textbook and serve as a valuable resource for everyone with an interest in AC."--
