""Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Human-Robot Interaction""
National Taiwan University, Tsung-Ren Huang
【Outline】
Social robots are becoming part of our everyday life. However, they are not yet as emotionally sensitive or socially intelligent as we like. In this lecture, I will discuss our recent studies that attempt to leverage verbal signals (e.g., linguistic and paralinguistic information) and nonverbal signals (e.g., facial expressions or other body languages) to improve a robot's understanding of humans, namely robot ""Theory of Mind."" Such an understanding can help personalization and maintain a long-term, human-robot relationship. Also, I will discuss communication issues in repeated human-robot interaction, such as unavoidable social contagion of false memories from robots to
humans. Overall, the results from these studies can inform us how to make human-centered social robots, which respect not only individual
differences but also limited cognitive capacity in humans.
