Editorial on “Cognitive Computing for Human–Robot Interaction”

摘要

Cognitive computing technologies that mimic the function- ing of the human brain have numerous applications across various fields and are now being increasingly integrated into the field of human–robot interaction. It enables the robots to interact with humans while doing a task, adjust and adapt themselves to the changing signals. If implemented appro- priately, cognitive computing will possibly make a new generation of advancements in human–robot interaction that assist humans with advanced features and functionalities. In short, robots can see, speak, listen, navigate, control, and manipulate in the same way as the human does. However, research in this background is still in an earlier stage and needs in-depth explorations.
