Child-robot interaction : Perspectives and challenges

conference paper
Child-Robot Interaction (cHRI) is a promising point of entry into the rich challenge that social HRI is. Starting from three years of experiences gained in a cHRI research project, this paper offers a view on the opportunities offered by letting robots interact with children rather than with adults and having the interaction in real-world circumstances rather than lab settings. It identifies the main challenges which face the field of cHRI: the technical challenges, while tremendous, might be overcome by moving away from the classical perspective of seeing social cognition as residing inside an agent, to seeing social cognition as a continuous and self-correcting interaction between two agents. © Springer International Publishing 2013.
