Abstract :
We propose the implementation of a new interaction type that allows the creation of adaptive social relationships between robots and virtual characters in a real world environment, using reinforcement learning. We present the implementation of a storytelling scenario, which results in an immersion experience for the robot. The robot is able to interact and learn dynamically from the virtual character
