We formalize the representation of gestures and present a model that is capable of
synchronizing expressive and relevant gestures with text-to-speech input. A gesture consists …

We present an approach to enhance the interaction abilities of the Nao humanoid robot by
extending its communicative behavior with non-verbal gestures (hand and head …

Based on a study of the engagement process between humans, we have developed and
implemented an initial computational model for recognizing engagement between a human …

The human sciences have demonstrated that gesture is a critical element of human
communication. While existing graphical solutions are appropriate for virtual agents, solving …

We present a model that is capable of synchronizing expressive gestures with speech. The
model, implemented on a Honda humanoid robot, can generate a full range of gesture …

To facilitate natural Human-Robot Interaction, body language cues are used on various
humanoid robots. In this paper, usage of semantic gestures for humanoid robot Nao is …

This article presents results obtained from an experiment on our expressive gesture model
for humanoid robots. The work took place within a French research project, GVLEX. The …

The purpose of a robot is to execute tasks for people. People should be able to
communicate with robots in a natural way. People naturally express themselves through …

We aim at equipping the humanoid robot NAO with the capacity of performing expressive
communicative gestures while telling a story. Given a set of intentions and emotions to …

There are a lot of human-like robots developed recently. Researchers have started to
explore the way to make human-like robots interacts with humans in a similar way as …
