What is a social robot?Robots that people apply a social model to in
order to interact with and to understand
A question:“Does the robot only appear to be socially
intelligent or is it genuinely so?”

What it should look like?
Dogs are socially Responsive and socially intelligent in a genuine sense
Robot doesn’t have to look like a humanTo be genuinely social intelligent

Social Robot Success
What matters is how the robot interacts face to facewith people, and how peopleinteract with it in a human environment

Known TypesEncourage people to anthropomorphize the technology in orderTo interact with it (but goes no further)
Uses human-like social cues and communication modalitiesTo facilitate interactions with humans, the social model Tends to be shallow and its social behavior is pre-canned.
Benefit from interaction with people (training model). TheseInteractions their internal structure in a deeper level. People Shape the robot’s behavior. They are socially passive.
Socially participative with their own internal goals and Motivations. Engage people in a social manner to benefitBoth the person and the robot. The robot’s social behavior Stems from its computational social psychology.

Speaking Turns
The ability to exchange turns during face-to-face interactions is the cornerstone of human style
communication and instruction

Kismet’s Envelope Displays
You’re Number 18
No. Action Cue
1 Acquire the Floor Break eye contactLean back
2 Start a speaking turn Vocalize a Kismet-esque babble
3 Stop a speaking turn Stop vocalization and re-establish eye contact
4 Hold the floor Look to the side
5 Relinquish the floor Raise browsLean forward a bit
Blinking occurs at most at the end of vocalization.

Social Robot Evaluation• Do People intuitively read and naturally respond to
Kismet’s social cues?• Can Kismet perceive and appropriately respond to
theses naturally offered cues?• Does the human adapt to the robot and the robot
adapt to the human, in a way that benefits the interaction
• Specifically, is the resulting interaction natural, intuitive and enjoyable for the human
• Can Kismet perform well despite its perceptual, mechanical, behavioral and computational limitations?
