Functional and non-functional expressive dimensions: Classification of the expressiveness of humanoid robots

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an important quantity of work has been done to investigate the reaction of people toward expressive robots. However, the large variability of available expression modalities (e.g., gaze, gestures, speech modulation) can make comparison between results difficult. We believe that developing a common taxonomy to describe these modalities would contribute to the standardization of HRI experiments. This paper proposes the first version of a classification system based on an analysis of humanoid robots commonly seen and used in HRI studies. Features from the face of robots are discussed in terms of functional and non-functional dimensions, and a short-hand notation is developed to describe these features.
