What is it about?

In this work, we have analyzed various methodologies to enhance the communicative effectiveness of a robot through the use of its tablet. This is because nowadays more and more robots are being produced with a display, yet it is seldom utilized within a dialogue, despite various studies demonstrating that visual communication strategies are highly effective.

Why is it important?

Several studies highlight the significance of nonverbal cues in communication. According to psychologist Albert Mehrabian, over 55% of a message's content is inferred from this level, which includes the use of visual elements. This importance is particularly pronounced when communicating with children or individuals on the autism spectrum.

Perspectives

I firmly believe in the importance of utilizing robot tablets to aid in their communication. This is a relatively uncharted territory, and accessing capabilities beyond human capacity will elevate them to a new level of communication.
