We here propose to use immersive teleoperation of a humanoid robot by a human pilot for artificially providing the robot with social skills. This so-called beaming approach of learning by demonstration (the robot passively experience social behaviors that can be further modeled and used for autonomous control) offers a unique way to study embodied cognition, i.e. a human cognition driving a controllable robotic body.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
