Human-Robot Interaction in Social Robotics

Social robots are a frontier research area in robotics and human-computer interaction. This book summarizes the research of the Robovie project at ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication Laboratories, a world leader in humanoid interactive robotics. The text covers interdisciplinary topics related to interactive robots, including human behavior recognition and behavior-based control. It presents the results of field studies conducted with non-technical users in everyday environments-such as train stations and shopping malls-and discusses the implementation of robots that interact with sensors and users over a telecommunications network.
