This article reviews the state of the art in social eye gaze for human-robot interaction (HRI). It
establishes three categories of gaze research in HRI, defined by differences in goals and …

Despite the relatively young age of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) as a field, there is a
large volume of research on advances in robot hardware, software and behavior. The goal …

Animating virtual avatars to make co-speech gestures facilitates various applications in
human-machine interaction. The existing methods mainly rely on generative adversarial …

Automatic synthesis of realistic co-speech gestures is an increasingly important yet
challenging task in artificial embodied agent creation. Previous systems mainly focus on …

Generating speech-consistent body and gesture movements is a long-standing problem in
virtual avatar creation. Previous studies often synthesize pose movement in a holistic …

Gestures are non-verbal but important behaviors accompanying people's speech. While
previous methods are able to generate speech rhythm-synchronized gestures, the semantic …

Machine learning (ML) is now a fairly established technology, and user experience (UX)
designers appear regularly to integrate ML services in new apps, devices, and systems …

Physical embodiment is a required component for robots that are structurally coupled with
their real-world environments. However, most socially interactive robots do not need to …

Abstract To make Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS), such as virtual agents and
embodied robots,“explainable” we need to understand how people respond to such systems …

As robots interact with a broader range of end-users, end-user robot programming has
helped democratize robot programming by empowering end-users who may not have …
