Part of this research into a cognitive robot companion investigates socially interactive robots =-=[7]-=- from a human-centred perspective, i.e. how robots could be useful in domestic environments; in particular the roles, tasks, and social behaviour(s) that will be necessary for robots to exhibit in ord...

Investigating the design space of robots is a challenging task that needs to consider various factors =-=[12]-=-. For example, Goetz et al.

..., that takes into account a motion model of the human as well as his preferences and needs. Let us consider a simple “fetch and carry task” as illustrated in figure 1 for a socially interactive robot =-=[1]-=-. The robot has to perform motion and manipulation actions and should be able to determine where a given task should be achieved, how to place itself relatively to a human, how to approach him, how to...

The goal is to develop socially interactive robots =-=[4]-=- that “live” in people’s homes and coexists with humans in their daily life. Also for these types of tasks, the movement of the platform is a basic problem that must be tackled. The constraints on the...

An excellent overview of socially interactive robots (robots designed to interact with humans in a social way) is provided in Fong et al. =-=[1]-=-. As the study of socially interactive robots is relatively new, experimenters in the field often use existing research into human-human social interactions as a starting point.
