Communicative Humanoids: Abstract Abstract Face-to-face interaction between people is generally effortless and effective. We exchange glances, take turns speaking and make facial and manual gestures to achieve the goals of the dialogue. Endowing computers with such an interaction style marks the beginning of a new era in our relationship with machines-one that relies on communication, social convention and dialogue skills. This thesis presents a computational model of psychosocial dialogue expertise, bridging between perceptual analysis of multimodal events and multimodal action generation, supporting the creation of interfaces that afford full-duplex, real-time face-to-face interaction between a human and autonomous computer characters. The architecture, called Ymir, has been implemented in software, and a prototype humanoid created.

Tesis Doctorales Digitales La publicación de las conclusiones de una investigación de postgrado lleva el nombre de tesis doctoral. Es un estudio de carácter original sobre una materia relacionada con el ámbito científico, técnico o artístico. El proyecto de tesis doctoral siempre está supervisado por un director de departamento universitario, que da el visto bueno sobre el tema y ha vigilado todo el proceso de investigación. En la obra Cómo se hace una Tesis, Técnicas y Procedimientos de investigación, estudio y escritura, Umberto Eco, se dan las pautas sobre la preparación de una tesis de investigación. El filósofo italiano establece una serie de consideraciones que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de elegir el tema, buscar el material el plan de trabajo, los plazos temporales y la redacción. Una vez elaborada la tesis lleva el momento de presentar y defenderla ante un tribunal en una sesión pública.
