Utterances in Social Robot Interactions -- Correlation Analyses between Robot's Fluency and Participant's Impression

the use of eye-gaze patterns in evaluating the partner's understanding process. The goal of the research is to understand better how humans focus their attention when interacting with a robot and to build a model for natural gaze patters to improve the robot's engagement and interaction capabilities.
