Abstract:
I focus on a synthetic research on elucidation of genesis of social intelligence – physical interaction between body and environment, social interaction between agents and role of evolution and so on –, with aiming to understand intelligence of humans and robots. For such an approach, we have set interdisciplinal discussions with wide viewpoint for various research field such as cognitive science, developmental psycology, brain science, evolutionary biology and robotics. In this approach, two interactions should be considered; physical interaction between agents and environments and social interaction between agents. However there is no integrated system with dynamics, perception, and social communication simulations. In this paper, I propose such a simulation environment called SIGVerse and potential to develop Human Robot Interaction systems that bridges real environment/users and cyber space based on the SIGVerse. As examples of the HRI systems based on SIGVerse, I introduce three
applications.
