Mutual gaze, personality, and familiarity : Dual eye-tracking during conversation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-09)
Mutual gaze is an important aspect of face-to-face communication that arises from the interaction of the gaze behavior of two individuals. In this dual eye-tracking study, gaze data was collected from human conversational ...
Interactive language learning by robots : The transition from babbling to word forms
(2012-06-13)
The advent of humanoid robots has enabled a new approach to investigating the acquisition of language, and we report on the development of robots able to acquire rudimentary linguistic skills. Our work focuses on early ...
Tutor Spotter : Proposing a Feature Set and Evaluating It in a Robotic System
(2012-04-01)
From learning by observation, robotic research has moved towards investigations of learning by interaction. This research is inspired by findings from developmental studies on human children and primates pointing to the ...
BIOMICS Project : Biological and Mathematical Basis of Interaction Computing
(2012)
The main idea that led us to propose this project is inspired by the observation that cell metabolic/regulatory systems are able to self-organise and/or construct order dynamically, through random interactions between their ...
Algebraic analysis of the computation in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction
(Springer Nature, 2012)
We analyse two very simple Petri nets inspired by the Oregonator model of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction using our stochastic Petri net simulator. We then perform the Krohn-Rhodes holonomy decomposition of the automata ...
Heat-maps and visualization for heterogeneous biomedical data based on information distance geometry
(Springer Nature, 2012)
Systems biology is very much concerned with gaining an overview of what is happening in complex systems, such as in biomedical data sets, for which we need good global visualization tools. This research uses a method based ...
Better be reactive at the beginning. Implications of the first seconds of an encounter for the tutoring style in human-robot-interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
The paper investigates the effects of a robot's on-line feedback during a tutoring situation with a human tutor. Analysis is based on a study conducted with an iCub robot that autonomously generates its feedback (gaze, ...
Contingency scaffolds language learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
In human robot interaction the question how to communicate is an important one. The answer to this question can be approached through several perspectives. One approach to study the best way how a robot should behave in ...
Perception-action loops of multiple agents : informational aspects and the impact of coordination
(2012)
Embodied agents can be conceived as entities perceiving and acting upon an external environment. Probabilistic models of this perception-action loop have paved the way to the investigation of information-theoretic aspects ...
