Abstract: A method of optimizing social interaction between a robot and a human. The method comprises generating then executing a robot motion script for interaction with a human by a robot based on a characteristic detected by at least one of a plurality of sensors on the robot. The method further comprises detection, by at least one sensor of the robot, a reaction of the human during a first period. The robot then analyzes the reaction of the human and assigns a positive or negative classification to the reaction based on pre-defined mapping stored in the memory of the robot. The method further comprises modifying the robot motion script to incorporate a pre-defined modification based on the determination of a negative classification of the human reaction. The method further comprises executing the modified robot motion script during a second period to obtain an improved interaction with the human.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for Multiple Java ME MIDlet Execution in Single-Instance CLDC JVM. A subMIDlet manager may be an instance of the MIDlet class and may be capable of managing the lifecycles of component subMIDlets. SubMIDlets may contain the functionality of a MIDlet and may be configured to operate within a subMIDlet manager in a JVM and not to operate in a JVM without a subMIDlet manager. An exemplary method includes executing a single JVM that is capable of executing a single MIDlet at a time and using the JVM to execute a subMIDlet manager. Such a JVM may be present on a MIDP device. The subMIDlet manager may coordinate the activities of multiple subMIDlets executing simultaneously while appearing to the JVM as a single MIDlet.
