Robotics - Gaze Mechanisms for Situated Interaction with Embodied Agents

Explore gaze mechanisms for situated interaction with embodied agents in this comprehensive lecture by Sean Andrist. Delve into the importance of social gaze in nonverbal communication for virtual agents and physical robots. Learn about various projects designed to test gaze behavior models in different contexts, including targeted gaze shifts, effective use of gaze aversions, gaze coordination during physical tasks, and personality-adaptive gaze behaviors for rehabilitation. Discover current research directions in situated interaction with robots at Microsoft Research. Gain insights into the methodology, implementation, and results of studies on gaze aversion timing, direction, and interactive gaze heuristics. Understand the applications of these concepts in virtual reality and human-robot interaction.
