Abstract

Multimodal Approach to Affective Human-Robot Interaction Design with Children SANDRA Y. OKITA, Teachers College, Columbia University VICTOR NG-THOW-HING and RAVI K.

Through activities familiar to young children (e.g., table setting, story telling), the rst study found that cooperative interaction style elicited more oculesic behavior and social engagement. The second study found that quality of attention, type of attention, and length of interaction in ‚uences affective behavior and engagement.
