Abstract
Many of the most daily uses of robots require them to work alongside users as cooperative and socially adaptive partners. To provide the human with the better suited assistance at a convenient time, a robot must assimilate the user’s behaviors and afford an adaptive response within the context of the interaction they share. We try to understand how a robot communication that is based on inarticulate sounds and iconic gestures is capable to help on the establishment of the attachment process and can enhance the social bonding between the human and our accompanying mobile robot (ROBOMO). In this paper, we draw on inarticulate sound and iconic gestures in order to design our robot and ground the attachment process. We showed that using simple inarticulate sounds and iconic gestures, the attachment process can evolve incrementally which significantly helped to acquire the meaning of the robot’s behaviors.
