TL;DR
An interactive humanoid robot that attracts humans to interact with it and, as a result, induces their group behaviors in front of it, which recognizes friendly relationships among humans by simultaneously identifying each person in the interacting group.
Abstract
This paper reports our novel approach to developing a social robot. Such a robot reads human relationships from their physical behavior. We have developed an interactive humanoid robot that attracts humans to interact with it and, as a result, induces their group behaviors in front of it. In our approach, the robot recognizes friendly relationships among humans by simultaneously identifying each person in the interacting group. We conducted a two-week experiment in an elementary school, in which Robovie demonstrated proven reasonable performance in identifying friendships among the children. We believe this ability to read human relationships is essential to behaving socially.

On-going project for investigating the communicative criteria for human-robot face-to-face communication like that with animated or robotic talking-heads assumes that people recover linguistic and affective meaning not from static or nearly static configurations such as still pictures or short sound segments, but in the temporal and spatial patterns of the visible and/or audible information associated with the face and the surrounding environment.
