Social Constraints on Animate Vision

摘要

Our group builds robots to operate in natural, social environments.The challenge of interacting with humans constrains how our robots appear physically, how they move, how they perceive the world, and how their behaviors are organized.This article describes an integrated visual-motor system we have constructed that negotiates between the physical constraints of the robot, the perceptual needs of the robot's behavioral and motivational systems, and the social implications of motor acts.
