From Human-Computer Interaction to Human-Robot Social Interaction

TL;DR

This paper explores integrating emotional and capability models from human-computer interaction into human-robot social interaction to improve robot-human engagement, discussing challenges and illustrating with a real case.

Contribution

It introduces a novel framework bridging human-computer and human-robot interaction by incorporating emotional and capability concepts into robot models.

Findings

Proposes a unified model for human-robot interaction

Identifies key challenges in integrating emotional capabilities

Demonstrates the model through a real-world case study

Abstract

Human-Robot Social Interaction became one of active research fields in which researchers from different areas propose solutions and directives leading robots to improve their interactions with humans. In this paper we propose to introduce works in both human robot interaction and human computer interaction and to make a bridge between them, i.e. to integrate emotions and capabilities concepts of the robot in human computer model to become adequate for human robot interaction and discuss challenges related to the proposed model. Finally an illustration through real case of this model will be presented.
