“Towards personalized design of non‐verbal human‐robot interaction”

Abstract:
For
most
humans
it
is
“natural”
to
interact
with
other
humans
and
in
particular
to
use
non-verbal
communication
as
a
mean
to
convey
intention,
emotion
and
to
give
a
purpose
to
an
interaction.
This
talk
presents
some
of
our
latest
advances
in
human
science
and
in
particular
to
model
and
to
understand
human
behavior
and
non-verbal
communication
through
the
dynamics
of
motions.
Our
research
results
are
applied
to
designing
human-machine
interactions
and
human-robot
interactions
to
create
awareness:
social
awareness,
emotional
awareness,
health
awareness…
and
aim
at
creating
a
seamless
intelligent
environment
where
humans
and
machines
can
share
the
same
space
and
collaborate.
The
presentation
entwines
concepts
from
the
fields
of
AI,
robotics,
biomechanics,
psychology
and
sociology.
Biography:
Gentiane
Venture
is
a
French
Roboticist
who
has
been
working
in
academia
in
Tokyo,
Japan
for
more
than
10
years.
After
graduating
from
Ecole
Centrale
de
Nantes
and
obtaining
a
PhD
from
University
of
Nantes
in
2000
and
2003
respectively,
she
works
at
the
French
Nuclear
Agency
and
at
the
University
of
Tokyo.
She
started
in
2009
with
Tokyo
University
of
Agriculture
and
Technology
where
she
has
established
the
GVlab,
an
international
research
group
working
on
human
science
and
robotics.
The
researchers
at
the
GVlab
try
to
encompass
human
motion
dynamics
and
non-verbal
communication
into
complex
intelligent
robot
behavior
design
to
achieve
personalized
human
machine
interaction.
The
work
of
her
group
is
highly
interdisciplinary
by
collaborating
with
therapists,
sociologists,
psychologists,
physiologists,
philosophers,
neuro-scientists,
designers
worldwide.
