Expressive Robot

Expressive robots aim to create robots capable of natural and engaging interaction with humans, going beyond simple task execution. Current research heavily utilizes large language models (LLMs) to generate both verbal and physical robot responses, integrating them with mixed reality interfaces for intuitive control and feedback. This focus on natural communication, encompassing nuanced gestures and adaptable behaviors, is driven by the need for more intuitive and effective human-robot collaboration across various applications, from collaborative workspaces to social companionship. The resulting advancements in robot design and control algorithms are significantly impacting the field of human-robot interaction.
