Abstract

The Expressive Agents for Symbiotic Education and Learning (EASEL) project will explore human-robot symbiotic interaction (HRSI) with the aim of developing an understanding of symbiosis over long term tutoring interactions. The EASEL system will be built upon an established and neurobiologically grounded architecture - Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC). Here we present the design of an initial experiment in which our facially expressive humanoid robot will interact with children at a public exhibition. We discuss the range of measurements we will employ to explore the effects our robot's expressive ability has on interaction with children during HRSI, with the aim of contributing optimal robot personality parameters to the final EASEL model. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
