Abstract

With the development of artificial intelligence and computer technology, more and more intelligent robots come into people’s view. And we can see the application of social robots in various scenarios, but these robots are insufficient in terms of anthropomorphism and personalization. In this paper, an interaction framework based on multimodal perception and cognition is proposed. This framework allows for more individualized engagement behaviors while also enhancing the cognitive system of social robots by gathering information on users’ words, expressions, and posture. The application of the interactive framework was demonstrated in the hospital scenario.
