Socialising Sensori-Motor Contingencies (socSMCs)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

As robots become more omnipresent in our society, we are facing the challenge of making them more socially competent. However, in order to safely and meaningfully cooperate with humans, robots must be able to interact in ways that humans find intuitive and understandable. Addressing this challenge, we propose a novel approach for understanding and modelling social behaviour and implementing social ...
