Design of verbal and non-verbal Human-Robot Interactive System

Abstract

This paper describes new ways to interface humans and multi-robot systems in an effective way. We present a project developed in an effort to create a Human-Robot Interactive System where a user freely cooperates with robots and in such way the robot learns to recognize his verbal and non-verbal exposes. Humans are involved into the process of the adaptation of humanoid performance, shown on the example of teaching humanoids an aesthetic motion. Due to the methods used, this approach is useful for personalization of robotic behaviors in accordance to the user's preference.
