Summary of the thesis::
Our everyday life includes more than one social interaction, which are based mainly on human communication. The latter consists of human emotional and behavioural information, expressed by voice, facial expressions or body movements. However, a social interaction is not limited between humans and thus, Human-Computer and Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) are meeting their golden point of research. The multidisciplinary area of computer graphics, neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence is trying to explore, decipher, decode and model the human emot ...
