| Abstract: | This paper examines the role of non-verbal social signals in human–robot interaction, drawing on established findings from human communication research and recent developments in automated social signal processing. I argue that current regulatory approaches, particularly within the EU AI Act, insufficiently address the way robots may use behavioural signals to influence interaction outcomes. |
