A novel culture-dependent gesture selection system for a humanoid robot performing greeting interaction

In human-robot interaction, it is important for the robots to adapt to our ways of communication. As humans, rules of non-verbal communication, including greetings, change depending on our culture. Social robots should adapt to these specific differences in order to communicate effectively, as a cor...
