ユーザの使用言語を自動推定する多言語コミュニケーションロボット

抄録

In recent years, with the increase in the number of foreigners visiting Japan, there has been an increase in multilingual information services for foreigners using digital signage and information robots. However, in the current services, users have to select their language, which often prevents flexible and natural communication like that between people. In this study, we have developed a communication robot system that can automatically identify the language used by users and communicate naturally. For this purpose, we have developed a projector lending guide robot that can identify the user’s language by acquiring the language setting of the user’s smartphone as well as by estimating the user’s language from the responses in the conversation.
