Attention-based interaction between human and the robot Chiye

摘要

In this paper, we discuss attention-based interaction between robot Chiye and human. The visual attention is conducted by the three asynchronous parallel processing units: (1) target detection block, (2) target management block and (3) target observation block. The robot Chiye interacts with human according to the status of gazed objects. Two kinds of attention-based robot's behaviors are examined: (a) orientation behavior toward a human, and (b) handing-over behavior.
