Software is central to system development, and cognitive‑science research emphasizes the importance of physical body expressions and autonomous utterance recognition for effective human‑robot communication. The study develops a new architecture that generates episode chains during interactions with humans based on these psychological experiments. The architecture is a network of situated modules, each comprising elemental entrainment behaviors and a communication behavior. The authors created the Robovie robot, which uses human‑like actuators, vision, and audio sensors to generate human‑like behaviors through its unique communication mechanisms.
The authors have developed a robot called “Robovie” that has unique mechanisms designed for communication with humans. Robovie can generate human‐like behaviors by using human‐like actuators and vision and audio sensors. Software is a key element in the systems development. Two important ideas in human‐robot communication through research from the viewpoint of cognitive science have been obtained – one is importance of physical expressions using the body and the other is the effectiveness of the robot’s autonomy in the robot’s utterance recognition by humans. Based on these psychological experiments, a new architecture that generates episode chains in interactions with humans is developed. The basic structure of the architecture is a network of situated modules. Each module consists of elemental behaviors to entrain humans and a behavior for communicating with humans.
