Kismet – The Humanoid Robot
Abstract
Newly emerging robotics applications for domestic or entertainment purposes are slowly introducing autonomous robots into society at large. A critical capability of such robots is their ability to interact with humans, and in particular, untrained users. This seminar explores the hypothesis that people will intuitively interact with robots in a natural social manner provided the robot can perceive, interpret, and appropriately respond with familiar human social cues. One such attempt to build the humanoid robots is made by the MIT research people by introducing their own humanoid robot called as Kismet.
The seminar also reflects the framework of Kismet discussing how these constraints have been addressed, and demonstrate the robot’s ability to engage naive human subjects in a compelling and expressive manner. It explores the role of emotive responses in communicative behavior between robots and humans
