Study Results from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Provide New Insights into Ro botics (Creating Expressive Social Robots That Convey Symbolic and Spontaneous C ommunication)
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx c orrespondents, research stated, "Robots are becoming an increasingly important p art of our society and have started to be used in tasks that require communicati ng with humans." Funders for this research include Ministerio De Ciencia, Innovacion Y Universida des; Agencia Estatal De Investigacion. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid: "Communication can be decoupled in two dimensions: symbolic (info rmation aimed to achieve a particular goal) and spontaneous (displaying the spea ker's emotional and motivational state) communication. Thus, to enhance human-ro bot interactions, the expressions that are used have to convey both dimensions. This paper presents a method for modelling a robot's expressiveness as a combina tion of these two dimensions, where each of them can be generated independently. This is the first contribution of our work. The second contribution is the deve lopment of an expressiveness architecture that uses predefined multimodal expres sions to convey the symbolic dimension and integrates a series of modulation str ategies for conveying the robot's mood and emotions."
