Abstract
We are studying human and robot interaction based on interpersonal communication, focusing on pointing. Pointing, while useful in communicating with others, is highly context-dependent, making it difficult for robots to interpret accurately. We conducted three experiments on robot behavior, creating basic motion using a virtual robot because using a real robot requires much time. We then had the virtual robot interact with two real robots having different degrees of freedom and ranges of movement.
