Towards an Articulation-Based Developmental Robotics Approach for Word Processing in Face-to-Face Communication
While we are capable of modeling the shape, e.g. face, arms, etc. of humanoid robots in a nearly natural or human-like way, it is much more difficult to generate human-like facial or body movements and human-like behavior like e.g. speaking and co-speech gesturing. In this paper it will be argued fo...
