Offer Description

The main goal of the research activity will consist in:

The research activity will identify how a robot can show legible behaviour using cognitive and affective ToM information. We intend to model the non-verbal behaviours and interaction characteristics as meta-rules associated with the BDI logic used to infer the patient’s psychological and cognitive states of mind within the semantic network. This allows the robot to reason on their legibility considering the robotic hardware constraints (e.g., absence of a face to express facial emotions, or no arms to gesture), and meeting people’s social constraints and preferences. Since the role of the robot (i.e., doctor, peer, carer, friend) and situational context (i.e., task type, risk, effects) affect people’s perception of the robot, factors that influence the legibility of a robot’s behaviour (i.e. people’s feeling of safety, comfort, efficiency and ability of the robot), have to be taken into account while deciding on the verbal and non-verbal cue to be used in the interaction.
