What is WOZ

Chapter 8
Handbook of Research on Synthesizing Human Emotion in Intelligent Systems and Robotics
One commonly employed technique in the HRI researchers’ toolkit is the Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) technique. WoZ refers to a person (usually the experimenter, or a confederate) remotely operating a robot, controlling any of a number of things, such as its movement, navigation, speech, gestures, etc. WoZ may involve any amount of control along the autonomy spectrum, from fully autonomous to fully tele-operated, as well as mixed initiative interaction.

Qualia Learning?: Innerbodiment Construction and Machine Self-Learning by (Emotional) Imitation
J. Vallverdú (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain)

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-7278-9.ch008
Abstract
Humans perform acts and imitate other humans' actions by innate mechanisms that imply the unconscious notion of innerbodiment. In this chapter, the author suggests a mechanistic method to capture, discretize and understand human actions, following a semi-supervised WOZ system that could allow robotic learning by imitation or even self-learning. A syntax and semantics basic model of human actions guide is provided as well as a philosophical analysis of the notion of action.
