| Abstract | Within the next few years, personal robots are expected to enter our homes, offices, schools, hospitals, construction sites, and workshops. For these robots to play a successful role in people's professional and personal lives, they need to display the kind of efficient and satisfying interaction that humans are accustomed to from each other. Designing this human-robot interaction is a multifaceted challenge, balancing requirements of the robot's appearance and behavior. A robot's appearance evokes interaction affordances and triggers emotional responses; its behavior communicates internal states, and can support action coordination and joint planning. Good HRI design should enlist both facets to enable untrained humans to work fluently and intuitively with the robot. In this talk I will present the approach we have been using in the past decade to develop several non-anthropomorphic robotic systems. The underlying principles of both appearance and behavioral design are movement, timing, and embodiment, acknowledging that human perception is highly sensitive to spatial cues, physical movement, and visual affordances. We design our robots' appearance using techniques from 3D animation, sculpture, industrial, and interaction design. Gestures and behaviors drive decisions on the robot's appearance and mechanical design. Starting from freehand sketches, the robot's personality is built as a computer animated character, setting the parameters and limits of the robot's degrees of freedom. Then, material and form studies are combined with functional requirements to settle on the final system design. I will exemplify this process on the design of several robots. On the behavioral side, we design around the notion of human-robot fluency---the ability to accurately mesh the robot's activity with that of a human partner. I present computational architectures rooted in timing, joint action, and embodied cognition. Specifically, I discuss anticipatory action for collaboration, and a model of priming through perceptual simulation. Both systems have been shown to have significant effects on the fluency of a human-robot team, and on humans' perception of the robot's intelligence, commitment, and even gender. I then describe an interactive robotic improvisation system that uses embodied gestures for simultaneous, yet responsive, joint musicianship. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
