Multi-modal dialogue strategy for android robots in symbiotic society

Abstract

A dialogue system using an android robot has been open for our user study in the research area of communicative intelligence. In this paper, we introduce our counter sales robot system which were implemented various technique based on our experiences. The android which performs a travel agent was autonomously driven by our multimodal control such as facial expression, eye movement, head movement, speech generation, and so on. In experimental travel agency, we investigated user impression as a customer from subjective assessments. Results of user studies through dialogue robot competition held in 2021will lead to find some problems for the robot symbiosis.
