Brain Controlled Architecture for Human-Human Interaction Mediated by a Humanoid Robot

2017

This paper presents an Assistive social robots architecture designed for social interaction with humans, mediated by a humanoid robot. The architecture has been designed for being used by people with severe paralysis and the architecture has been tested by a user affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a locked-in state. The system allows the patient to communicate with the stakeholders using a Brain Controlled Interface, based on Evoked Response Potentials (ERP), to express needing, feelings or writing phases. Stakeholders visualize messages sent by the patient on a GUI and use a tele operated humanoid robot as an avatar of them to extend their physical presence to interact with…

An android architecture for bio-inspired honest signalling in Human-Humanoid Interaction

2017

Abstract This paper outlines an augmented robotic architecture to study the conditions of successful Human-Humanoid Interaction (HHI). The architecture is designed as a testable model generator for interaction centred on the ability to emit, display and detect honest signals. First we overview the biological theory in which the concept of honest signals has been put forward in order to assess its explanatory power. We reconstruct the application of the concept of honest signalling in accounting for interaction in strategic contexts and in laying bare the foundation for an automated social metrics. We describe the modules of the architecture, which is intended to implement the concept of hon…

A Cognitive Model of Trust for Biological and Artificial Humanoid Robots

2018

This paper presents a model of trust for biological and artificial humanoid robots and agents as antecedent condition of interaction. We discuss the cognitive engines of social perception that accounts for the units on which agents operate and the rules they follow when they bestow trust and assess trustworthiness. We propose that this structural information is the domain of the model. The model represents it in terms of modular cognitive structures connected by a parallel architecture. Finally we give a preliminary formalization of the model in the mathematical framework of the I/O automata for future computational and human-humanoid application.

PARLARE E INTERAGIRE CON UN ROBOT UMANOIDE. TRA MENTE NATURALE E MENTE DIGITALE

2020

L’interazione sociale tra uomini e robot umanoidi è uno dei temi sui quali si focalizza attualmente la ricerca tenendo presente che l’interazione risulta efficace quando prevede anche la decodifica dei segnali non verbali e gestuali normalmente a corredo dei segnali verbali di comunicazione. Di seguito verranno illustrate quali capacità deve esibire un robot umanoide per percepire, dialogare e interagire socialmente con esseri umani, utilizzando sia segnali non verbali sia i bio-segnali cerebrali dell’uomo rilevati attraverso un caschetto BCI. I paradigmi di cooperazione umano-centrici per definire i ruoli sociali che un robot umanoide potrà avere domani nella società degli esseri umani son…

Un'architettura robotica per l'honest signalling nell'interazione uomo-umanoide

2017

Questo contributo descrive l’architettura di un sistema di rilevazione e classificazione integrato con robot umanoidi per specificare una classe di segnali biologicamente rilevanti che contribuiscono a rendere l’interazione con l’uomo naturale e affidabile. Si presenterà inizialmente la teoria biologica dell’honest signalling e quindi la sua estensione nella sociometrics. Infine, si illustreranno i moduli dell’architettura progettata come genera- trice di modelli di percezione sociale testabili per una classe delimitata di segnali sociali. This paper describes the architecture of a detection and classification humanoid integrated system, which is designed to specify one class of biologicall…

PHD Thesis: Investigating Perceptual Features For a Natural Human Humanoid Robot Interaction Inside a Spontaneous Setting

Since robots have become part of human life, several studies have been done with the aim of discovering salient social rules at the basis of the collaboration between human beings and humanoid robot (Human Humanoid Interaction - HHI). The purpose is to have a common environment where human and humanoid robot could engage a proficous "dialogue" in order to share the "sense of co-presence" for common empathic tasks and goals. The humanoid robot must be in a position to interact with the human, and learn day by day from external environment, exactly as it occurs in human beings in the real life. In this sense, significant progresses have been reached, having a strong impact in each aspect of e…
