Abstract :
This paper focus in the importance of context awareness and intention understanding capabilities in modern robots when faced with different situations. The inclusion of such requirements in robot design aim for more intelligent robots capable to adapt its behaviours to the faced situations. Gaze estimation and gesture interpretation are modalities, closely related with context-depent human intention understanding, that are addressed in this work.
