To achieve the same for robots, they must similarly exploit their brain-body-environment interactions or their embodied intelligence. To advance this approach, we propose a framework building on Shannon’s information channel theory for communication to provide the key principles and benchmarks for advancing human-robot communication.entext::journal::journal article::research article
