FaceBots: Steps towards enhanced long-term human-robot interaction by utilizing and publishing online social information
@article{Mavridis2010FaceBotsST, title={FaceBots: Steps towards enhanced long-term human-robot interaction by utilizing and publishing online social information}, author={Nikolaos Mavridis and Michael Petychakis and Alexandros Tsamakos and Panos Toulis and Shervin Emami and Wajahat Kazmi and Chandan Datta and Chiraz BenAbdelkader and Andry Tanoto}, journal={Paladyn}, year={2010}, volume={1}, pages={169-178} }
The overarching goal of the FaceBots project is to support the achievement of sustainable long-term human-robot relationships through the creation of robots with face recognition and natural language capabilities, which exploit and publish online information, and especially social information available on Facebook, and which achieve two significant novelties. The underlying experimental hypothesis is that such relationships can be significantly enhanced if the human and the robot are gradually…
