Behavior learning of a face robot using human natural instruction

Abstract

In this paper, based on the concept "learning oriented interaction " (LOI) as a basic strategy of organizing the sensorymotor coordination for the interacting robot, we first point out the problems of the conventional approach to realize LOI, i.e. the "direct instruction method". Then we propose an alternative approach, i.e. the "natural instruction method", and we conduct the experiments using a face robot system in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the new method in real robot-interaction with human. We explain briefly the concept of LOI and point out its problems.
