Talk by Alessandra Sciutti at 糖心TV Philosophy Dept, 31 July, 5-6:30 pm: 'Intuitive Robots: the power of imperceptible signals'
Cowling Room (S2.77)

Intuitive robots: the power of imperceptible signals
Alessandra Sciutti

Cognitive Robotics and Interaction Lab.,
Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Dept.,
Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia

When: Monday 31 July, 5-6.30 pm

Where: Cowling Room (S 2.77)

Abstract: Human interaction is sometimes so fast and fluid that the two partners seem to have a sixth sense, that allows them to read each other’s mind. Actually humans have the ability of reading imperceptible signals hidden in others’ movements that reveal their goals and emotional status without their knowing it. In this talk I will present the current research of my group, aimed at enabling the humanoid robot iCub to both send and sense such implicit communication signals, in order to establish a bi-directional intuitive mutual understanding with the human partner. Our technological goal is to obtain a robotic helper that can read our needs and anticipate our requests just by observing us move. In the process, the robot already proved to be a precious ally for research, serving as controllable probe for the investigation of the sensory, motor and cognitive bases of human interaction.
