Sociable humanoid robots are natural and intuitive for people to communicate with and to teach. We present recent advances in building an autonomous humanoid robot, Kismet, that can engage humans in expressive social interaction. We outline a set of design issues and a framework that we have found to be of particular importance for sociable robots. Having a human-in-the-loop places significant social constraints on how the robot aesthetically appears, how its sensors are configured, its quality of movement, and its behavior. Inspired by infant social development, psychology, ethology, and evolutionary perspectives, this work integrates theories and concepts from these diverse viewpoints to enable Kismet to enter into natural and intuitive social interaction with a human caregiver, reminiscent of parent-infant exchanges. Kismet perceives a variety of natural social cues from visual and auditory channels, and delivers social signals to people through gaze direction, facial expression, body posture, and vocalizations. We present the implementation of Kismet's social competencies and evaluate each with respect to: 1) the ability of naive subjects to read and interpret the robot's social cues, 2) the robot's ability to perceive and appropriately respond to naturally offered social cues, 3) the robot's ability to elicit interaction scenarios that afford rich learning potential, and 4) how this produces a rich, flexible, dynamic interaction that is physical, affective, and social. Numerous studies with naive human subjects are described that provide the data upon which we base our evaluations.

Mashine za kijamii: kubadilishana kwa kijamii kati ya wanadamu na roboti Mwandishi Breezeal, Cynthia L.

MetadataShow full item record Sociable humanoid robots ni asili na intuitive kwa watu kuwasiliana na kufundisha. Kismet ni roboti inayoitwa Kismet, ambayo ina uwezo wa kuwasiliana na watu. Sisi kuelezea seti ya masuala ya kubuni na mfumo kwamba tumepata kuwa na umuhimu maalum kwa roboti sociable. Kuwa na binadamu katika kitanzi huweka vikwazo vikubwa vya kijamii juu ya jinsi robot inaonekana aesthetically, jinsi sensorer zake zimepangwa, ubora wake wa harakati, na tabia yake. Kwa kuchochewa na maendeleo ya kijamii ya watoto wachanga, saikolojia, etolojia, na mitazamo ya mageuzi, kazi hii inajumuisha nadharia na dhana kutoka kwa maoni haya tofauti ili kumruhusu Kismet kuingia katika mwingiliano wa kijamii wa asili na wa intuitive na mtoa huduma wa binadamu, akikumbusha kubadilishana kwa mzazi na mtoto. Kismet anatambua ishara mbalimbali za kijamii kutoka kwa njia za kuona na kusikia, na hutoa ishara za kijamii kwa watu kupitia mwelekeo wa kutazama, usemi wa uso, msimamo wa mwili, na sauti. "Kismet anaonyesha uwezo wa ""kujifunza"" kwa kutumia ""kijumuisho cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee cha kipekee." Uchunguzi mwingi uliofanywa kwa wanadamu wasio na uzoefu umeelezwa ambao hutoa data ambazo tunategemea tathmini zetu. Thesis (Sc.D.) -- Taasisi ya Teknolojia ya Massachusetts, Idara.
