- Abstract
- Social intelligence is an essential capability for robots when they lives and interacts with humans. Co-speech gesture, doing body gestures when talks as a human does, is one of required skills. Existing robots are showing co-speech gestures, but those are manually designed by human experts. We believe that the robots could gain social intelligence from human demonstrations. In this work-in-progress paper, we present a RNN-based model to understand speech text and infer a proper hand gesture. A preliminary evaluation with a NAO robot is also conducted and showed promising results.
