Utilization of Non-verbal Behaviour and Social Gaze in Classroom Human-Robot Interaction Communications

This abstract explores classroom Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios with an emphasis on the adaptation of human-inspired social gaze models in robot cognitive architecture to facilitate a more seamless social interaction. First, we detail the HRI scenarios explored by us in our studies followed by a description of the social gaze model utilized for our research. We highlight the advantages of utilizing such an attentional model in classroom HRI scenarios. We also detail the intended goals of our upcoming study involving …
