Abstract :
Compelling human-robot interaction demands high level perception of human behavior by the robot. In this paper we describe a visual perception system that provides high-level, narrative interpretation of human behavior in relation to the robot. The vision system has been implemented using Firewire digital camera technology and has been tested in public venues at The Robotics Institute
