SEMIOTICS AND HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

João Silva Sequeira, Maria Isabel Ribeiro

2006

Abstract

This paper describes a robot control architecture supported on a human-robot interaction model obtained directly from semiotics concepts. The architecture is composed of a set of objects defined after a semiotic sign model. Simulation experiments using unicycle robots are presented that illustrate the interactions within a team of robots equipped with skills similar to those used in human-robot interactions.
