Human machine interaction
|
Developing human machine interactions with
implicit communication, which would be valuable to have this capability
in robotic systems wherein a robot can detect the motivations and
emotions of the person it is working with.
|
|
Pattern Recognition
|
Investigating various
classification/ regression methods to detect affective states from
physiological cues for implicit human-robot interaction, which includes
signal processing, feature extraction and selection, and pattern
recognition algorithm study.
|
|
Robotics
|
Integrating the affective
information to the robotic control architecture so as to improve robot
capability for the human robot interaction in a more intuitive way. It is
focused on human-central application.
|
|
Machine Learning
|
It is important to view
the human robot interaction from the robot's perspective as well as that
of the human. It would be helpful to study how to facilitate robot/agent
learning by affective computing.
