Magnenat-Thalmann N., Yuan J., Thalmann D., You B.-J. (eds.) Context Aware Human-Robot and Human-Agent Interaction

Springer, 2016. — 301.This book is the first book to describe how Autonomous Virtual Humans and Social Robots can interact with real people, be aware of these people and the environment and react to various situations. The book explains the main techniques for the tracking and the analysis of humans and their behaviour including facial expressions, body and hand gestures and sound localization. It explains how the virtual human and the social robot should react at the right time based on the perception they have from the real participants. It describes how to create socially interactive behaviour generation for virtual characters and social robots using the same modalities as human do: verbal, body gestures, facial expressions and gaze. The book also discusses how a virtual human or a social robot can replace a real human in a remote locationPart I User Understanding Through Multisensory Perception
