Yasutaka HIGA +profile: Concurrency Reliance Lab +lang: Japanese + +# Abstract +* Robots, especially humanoids, are expected to perform human-like actions and adapt to our ways of communication in order to facilitate their acceptance in human society. +* Among humans, rules of communication change depending on background culture. +* Greeting are a part of communication in which cultural differences are strong. + +# Abstract +* In this paper, we present the modelling of social factors that influence greeting choice, +* and the resulting novel culture-dependent greeting gesture and words selection system. +* An experiment with German participants was run using the humanoid robot ARMAR-IIIb. + +# Introduction +* Acceptance of humanoid robots in human societies is a critical issue. +* One of the main factors is the relations ship between the background culture of human partners and acceptance. + * ecologies, social structures, philosophies, educational systems. + +# Introduction +* In the work Trovat et al. culture-dependent acceptance and discomfort relating to greeting gestures were found in a comparative study with Egyptian and Japanese participants. +* As the importance of culture-specific customization of greeting was confirmed. +* Acceptance of robots can be improved if they are able to adapt to different kinds of greeting rules. + +# Introduction +* Adaptive behaviour in robotics can be achieved through various methods: + * reinforcement learning + * neural networks + * generic algorithms + * function regression + +# Greeting selection + + + +
