Abstract In Human-Robot Interactions (HRI), robots should be socially intelligent. They
should be able to respond appropriately to human affective and social cues in order to …

The use of speech for robots to communicate with their human users has been facilitated by
improvements in speech synthesis technology. Now that the intelligibility of synthetic speech …

The focus of the following article is on the use of new robotic systems in the manufacturing
industry with respect to the social dimension. Since “intuitive” human–machine interaction …

Many manufacturing industries especially small and medium size (SMEs) industries are
reluctant to automatize their production using robots. This is due to the fact that mostly …

Communication with robots is challenging, partly due to their differences from humans and
the consequent discrepancy in people's mental model of what robots can see, hear, or …

This paper describes the principles of mimic recognition and reproduction for robots with
