Abstract
We have developed a humanoid robot called “Robovie”. The task is to communicate with humans and establish relationships by using various sensors and actuators. For designing the robot behavior, we have performed cognitive experiments, implemented the results on the software architecture, and verified the effectiveness in human-robot communication. This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach between cognitive science and robotics for developing the communicative robot.
