Abstract
A method of optimizing social interaction between a robot and a human. The method comprises generating then executing a robot motion script for interaction with a human by a robot based on a characteristic detected by at least one of a plurality of sensors on the robot. The method further comprises detection, by at least one sensor of the robot, a reaction of the human during a first period. The robot then analyzes the reaction of the human and assigns a positive or negative classification to the reaction based on pre-defined mapping stored in the memory of the robot. The method further comprises modifying the robot motion script to incorporate a pre-defined modification based on the determination of a negative classification of the human reaction. The method further comprises executing the modified robot motion script during a second period to obtain an improved interaction with the human.
