Adaptation of action theory for Human-robot social interaction

Abstract

One goal in Human-robot interaction field is to explore ways by which robots can improve their social interaction with humans. Our main concern here is to equip robot by emotional capacities and improve their social interactions with human being by adapting Norman's basic theory of human action, and by integration of emotions and capacities concepts of the robot in the interaction process. Finally, some illustrations of adapted model were presented by scenarios of human-robot interactions.
