Intelligent Control Architecture for Human-Robot Interaction

Abstract

Due to constant price reduction and miniaturization of the devices that compose a mobile robot, mobile robotics has become increasingly accessible for the public, and it is reasonable to assume that in the near future robots will be "living" among us. To create robots capable of living in human society, various disciplines have contributed to theoretical and technological frameworks, of which two stand out: Control Architectures and Human-Robot Interaction. This paper presents a work in progress that proposes an intelligent control architecture inspired by natural models, whose main purpose is to allow the robot to interact with people intuitively and to motivate collaboration between people and robots.
