Basic Aspects of Joint Action (CoTeSys Project #411)

In brief

What makes a good assistant ...

Efficient human-robot interaction requires that robots recognize and display intentions. In order to endow robots with a natural, predictable, and adaptive behaviour, we investigate human joint action experimentally to identify critical parameters, evaluate how these parameters are negotiated, and to ultimately transfer the results to robotic systems.
