Abstract
In recent years, humanoid robots have been designed to resemble humans and interact with them like human beings interact with each other in a social setting. Joint attention plays an essential role in human-human social interaction. In this study, based on these findings, we want to implement gaze synchronization to a new game scenario, as a part of the communication process between humans and robots. We describe a method, which will be used in order to study the effects of gaze synchronization as a communication channel on human performance and on trustworthiness during a cooperative cognitive task between humans and a robot.
