About this guide
A robotic system that can recognize and engage in joint attention behav-iors will allow for social interactions between the robot and humans that have previously not been possible. The robot would be capable of learning from an observer using normal social signals in the same way that human infants learn; no specialized training of the observer would be necessary. The robot would also be capable of expressing its internal state (emotions, desires, goals, etc.) through social interactions without
