Can a robotic attention system simulate infant gazing behavior?

摘要

In this paper, we are presenting a human robot interaction study, which is targeting the question, how the attention system of the iCub robot is performing in comparison with infants. To answer this, we have studied a task presentation, towards infants, the iCub simulator and the iCub robot. We compared the gazing behavior of the recipients. In developmental robotics, as well as in tutoring situations, the gazing behavior of the recipient plays an important role for the following interaction.
