Cynthia Breazeal here presents her vision of the sociable robot of the future, a synthetic creature and not merely a sophisticated tool. A sociable robot will be able to understand us, to communicate and interact with us, to learn from us and grow with us. It will be socially intelligent in a humanlike way. Eventually sociable robots will assist us in our daily lives, as collaborators and companions. Because the most successful sociable robots will share our social characteristics, the effort to make sociable robots is also a means for exploring human social intelligence and even what it means to be human. Breazeal defines the key components of social intelligence for these machines and offers a framework and set of design issues for their realization. Much of the book focuses on a nascent sociable robot she designed named Kismet. Breazeal offers a concrete implementation for Kismet, incorporating insights from the scientific study of animals and people, as well as from artistic disciplines such as classical animation. This blending of science, engineering, and art creates a lifelike quality that encourages people to treat Kismet as a social creature rather than just a machine. The book includes a CD-ROM that shows Kismet in action.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2015, held in Kolkata, India, in November 2015. The 24 revised full papers and 2 invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The workshop provides theoretical foundations and methods for solving problems from various areas of human practice. In contrast to traditional approaches to image analysis which implement continuous models, float arithmetic and rounding, combinatorial image analysis features discrete modelsusing integer arithmetic. The developed algorithms are based on studying combinatorial properties of classes of digital images, and often appear to be more efficient and accurate than those based on continuous models.

The papers are organized in topical sections on algebraic theory, max-plus and max-min mathematics; discrete geometry and discrete topology; watershed and graph-based segmentation; trees and hierarchies; topological and graph-based clustering, classification and filtering; connected operators and attribute filters; PDE-based morphology; scale-space representations and nonlinear decompositions; computational morphology; object detection; and biomedical, material science and physical applications.
