See You See Me: The Role of Eye Contact in Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction

See You See Me: The Role of Eye Contact in Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction See You See Me: The Role of Eye Contact in Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction TIAN (LINGER) XU, Indiana University at Bloomington HUI ZHANG, University of Louisville CHEN YU, Indiana University at Bloomington We focus on a fundamental looking behavior in human-robot interactions--gazing at each other's face. Eye contact and mutual gaze between two social partners are critical in smooth human-human interactions. Therefore, investigating at what moments and in what ways a robot should look at a human user's face as a response to the human's gaze behavior is an important topic.
