Gaze in HRI

摘要

The purpose of this half-day workshop is to explore the role of social gaze in human-robot interaction, both how to measure social gaze behavior by humans and how to implement it in robots that interact with them. Gaze directed at an interaction partner has become a subject of increased attention in human-robot interaction research. While traditional robotics research has focused work on robot gaze solely on the identification and manipulation of objects, researchers in HRI have come to recognize that gaze is a social behavior in addition to a way of sensing the world. This workshop will approach the problem of understanding the role of social gaze in human-robot interaction from the dual perspectives of investigating human-human gaze for design principles to apply to robots and of experimentally evaluating human-robot gaze interaction in order to assess how humans engage in gaze behavior with robots.
