Socially intelligent robots are no longer an interesting topic of science fiction. In the robotics
community, there is a growing interest in building personal robots, or in building robots that …

Robotics is a field which does not only become more and more important in industry and
production but is becoming part of many peoples every day life and as such, the interaction …

The BERT2 social robot, a platform for the exploration of human-robot interaction, is
currently being built at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. This paper describes work on the …

One factor that contributes to successful long-term human-human interaction is that humans
are able to appropriately express their emotions depending on situations. Unlike humans …

Communication between humans and robots is a very critical step for the integration of
social robots into society. Emotion expression through a robotic face is one of the key points …

This article proposes an emotive lifelike robotic face, called ExpressionBot, that is designed
to support verbal and non-verbal communication between the robot and humans, with the …

In this paper an interactive and realistic facial animation oriented to human-computer
interaction and social robotics is proposed. An initial model is obtained from a real face …

This paper describes a robotic-head system as a multimodal communication device for
human-robot interaction, and the system's potential application in home environments. Most …

This paper presents a multi-sensor humanoid robotic head for human robot interaction. The
design of the robotic head, Muecas, is based on ongoing research on the mechanisms of …
