Human-Robot Interaction
Edited by Daisuke Chugo, ISBN 978-953-307-051-3, Hard cover, 288 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: February 01, 2010 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, in subject Robotics
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is the study of interactions between people (users) and robots. HRI is multidisciplinary with contributions from the fields of human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics, speech recognition, and social sciences (psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, and human factors). There has been a great deal of work done in the area of human-robot interaction to understand how a human interacts with a computer. However, there has been very little work done in understanding how people interact with robots. For robots becoming our friends, these studies will be required more and more.
