Abstract
In this paper we present a system for automatic prediction of extraversion during the first thin slices of human-robot interaction (HRI). This work is based on the hypothesis that personality traits and attitude towards robot appear in the behavioural response of humans during HRI. We propose a set of four non-verbal movement features that characterize human behavior during the interaction. We focus our study on predicting Extraversion using these features extracted from a dataset consisting of 39 healthy adults interacting with the humanoid iCub. Our analysis shows that it is possible to predict to a good level (64 %) the Extraversion of a human from a thin slice of interaction relying only on non-verbal movement features. Our results are comparable to the state-of-the-art obtained in HHI [23].
