Allowing robots to communicate naturally with humans is an important goal for social robotics. Most approaches have focused on building high-level probabilistic cognitive models. However, research in cognitive science shows that people often build common ground for communication with each other by seeking and providing evidence of understanding through behaviors like mimicry. Predictive State Representations...
Humans rely on a finely tuned ability to recognize and adapt to socially relevant patterns in their everyday face-to-face interactions. This allows them to anticipate the actions of others, coordinate their behaviors, and create shared meaning—to communicate. Social robots must likewise be able to recognize and perform relevant social patterns, including interactional synchrony, imitation, and particular...
Human evolution occurred in the context of face-to-face groups. I argue that there are structural features of groups that recur across generations in evolutionary history; these should constitute ''the mind's natural environment.'' This article begins by developing a vocabulary of ''repeated assembly'' as a replacement for nature-nurture and biol- ogy-culture dualisms. It then proposes a face-to-face...
