Show, Attend and Interact: Perceivable Human-Robot Social Interaction through Neural Attention Q-Network

, 2017
For a safe, natural and effective human-robot social interaction, it is essential to develop a system that allows a robot to demonstrate the perceivable responsive behaviors to complex human behaviors. We introduce the Multimodal Deep Attention Recurrent
