题 目(TITLE): A trained humanoid robot can perform human-like crossmodal attention and social interaction via integrating social cues in complex scenarios
摘要
Due to the aging population and life digitalization, humanoid robots could be seen as potential community resources to accompany the elderly, support remote work, and improve individuals' mental or physical health. To enhance human-robot interaction, it is essential for robots to become more socialized via processing multiple social cues in a complex real-world environment. Thus, social cues integration and crossmodal conflicts resolution are crucial for humanoid robots to implement social interaction. I will present a series of studies to explore the following questions:
1) how human participants responded in a round-table meeting scenario with different audiovisual modalities congruency;
2) how a humanoid robot could perform human-like attentional behaviors in complex environments with crossmodal conflicts by computational modeling;
3) how a humanoid robot interacted with human participants by integrating different social cues and performing different personalities.
Our experiments explored human crossmodal attention mechanisms with high ecological validity and proved that a humanoid robot could replicate human-like responses via computational modeling. Our interdisciplinary work provides important insights into how crossmodal attention can be modeled in robots and introduces future research directions for human-robot interaction.
