Name of the thesis: Robot reading human head pose and gaze direction

Anotation: Human-robot interaction (HRI) depends significantly on robot's ability to track human behavior in order to allow the robot to make predictions and act accordingly. This ability can be facilitated by using additional hardware, such as head-mounted eye tracker.

Goal:

1. Study the literature on existing models of head pose estimation and test the chosen model on the NICO robot using a small set of human participants.
2. Prepare and test the head-mounted eye-tracker for recording eye gaze information to be used by the NICO robot.
3. Assess the accuracy of the models combining the head pose and gaze information.
