RESUMO
Sociable robots should be able to interact, to communicate, to understand and to relate with human beings in a natural way. There are several scientific and practical motivations for developing sociable robots as platform of researches, education and entertainment. However, although several sociable robots have already been developed with success, much work remains to increase their effectiveness. The use of a robotic architecture may strongly reduce the time and effort required to construct a sociable robot. Such robotic architecture must have structures and mechanisms to allow social interaction, behavior control and learning from environment. Such architecture must also have structures and mechanisms to allow perception and attention, to enable a sociable robot to perceive the richness of the human behavior and of the environment, and to learn from social interactions. Learning processes evidenced on Behavior Analysis can led to the development of promising methods and structures for the construction social robots that are able to learn through interaction from the environment and to exhibit appropriate social behavior. The purpose of this work is the development of a robotic architecture inspired from Behavior Analysis. The developed architecture is able to simulate operant behavior learning and the proposed methods and structures allow the control and exhibition of appropriate social behavior and learning from interaction in the environment. The proposed architecture was evaluated in the context of a non trivial real problem: the learning of the shared attention. The obtained results show that the architecture is able to exhibit appropriate behaviors during a real and controlled social interaction. Additionally, the results show also that the architecture can learn from a social interaction. This work is the basis for developing a tool for the construction of social robots. The obtained results open oportunities of many future works
