Human perception baseline for anticipating haptic greetings in human-robot interaction

Merel M.  Jung; Martijn Goudbeek

Abstract

Greeting is the hallmark example of social behavior in
which touch occurs frequently and serves an important
function in managing interpersonal relations by welcoming
a guest or acknowledging a friend [1]. Socially intelligent
robots should therefore be able to initiate and respond to
haptic greetings such as a handshake or a hug. While anticipating touch interactions from an exocentric perspective [2]
is useful for some applications, social robots would require
anticipation of human actions from an egocentric perspective.
To establish a baseline, a perception study was conducted
to compare how accurately humans can anticipate different
types of haptic greetings from an egocentric and exocentric
view
