Abstrakt: Future companion and assistive robots will interact directly with end-users in their own homes over extended periods of time. To be useful, and remain engaging over the long-term, these technologies need to pass a new threshold in social robotics--to be aware of people, their identities, emotions and intentions and to adapt their behavior to different individuals. Our long-term goal is to match the social cognition ability of companion animals who recognize people and their intentions without linguistic communication. The MiRo robot is a petsized mobile platform, with a brain-based control system and an emotionally-engaging appearance, which is being developed for research on companion robotics, and for applications in education, assistive living and robot-assisted therapy. This paper describes new MiRo capabilities for social cognition that support the adaptation of behavior towards people and other robots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
