Hri In An Ecological Dynamic Experiment: The Gee Corpus Based Approach For The Emox Robot

As part of a human-robot interaction project, the gestural modality is one of many ways to communicate. In order to develop a relevant gesture recognition system associated to a smart home butler robot, our methodology is based on an IQ game-like Wizard of Oz experiment to collect spontaneous and implicitly produced gestures in an ecological context where the robot is the referee. These gestures are compared with explicitly produced gestures to determine a relevant ontology of gestures. This preliminary qualitative analysis will be the base to build a big data corpus in order to optimize acceptance of the gesture dictionary in coherence with the "socio-affective glue" dynamics.
