The harmonious and natural social interaction with people is the most pursued of robot intelligence research, it also has been regarded as a sign that human society has entered the era of human-machine fusion. At present, the research on the theory and technology of robot social interaction has made some progress in short-term and specific scenarios, but a social interaction theory system that integrates social knowledge, intention understanding, social motivation generation, and behavioral expression control has not yet been formed. In this session, several topics focusing on smart sensing and perception will be discussed, aiming at human-robot interaction. The session starts with the issue of robot social interaction, followed by several topics from different perspectives:
- By exploiting how to build the social protocol and knowledge
- By realizing the social perception based multi-modalities
- By modeling robot emotional core and motivation
