Objectives
|
Based on the Robotic platform MEKA, we propose to integrate a series of tactile and physiological sensors on the robot’s skin (arm, hand, etc.). These sensors will detect the physical behavior and the emotion state of the user. Thereafter, a series of experimental studies will be conducted to identify haptic expressions, physical invariants, and regions of the body of the robot and the user involved in the expression and perception of emotions. These results enable us to propose a model which aggregates affective haptic robot behaviors in interaction with a human user. Finally, the project will take place in the context of children social and educations activities. ). Different scenarios involving children-robot haptic interaction will be investigated: guidance of gestures in learning and educational tasks (robot that guides a child and vice versa), and educational games / riddle with physical contacts.
