This paper introduces the initial phase of a dynamic SP framework, emphasizing context identification. Psychological research links contextual awareness to improved interactions, fostering empathy and adaptability. Applying this to HRI may enhance comfort and support by mirroring social dynamics. Accurate context identification is crucial, as it directly enables effective SP modulation.
