Project description
Social robots are robots which interact with people in a natural manner. Autonomously generating contingent verbal and nonverbal behaviour is currently impossible. We use generative Deep Learning to observe video recordings of people and learn which behaviours are appropriate for the robot,
with the aim of having the robot produce matching verbal and non-verbal behaviour.
