- The paper presents a multimodal conversational interaction system for the Nao humanoid robot. The system was developed at the 8th International Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces, Metz, 2012. We implemented WikiTalk, an existing spoken dialogue system for open-domain conversations, on Nao. This greatly extended the robot's interaction capabilities by enabling Nao to talk about an unlimited range of topics. In addition to speech interaction, we developed a wide range of multimodal interactive behaviours by the robot, including face-tracking, nodding, communicative gesturing, proximity detection and tactile interrupts. We made video recordings of user interactions and used questionnaires to evaluate the system. We further extended the robot's capabilities by linking Nao with Kinect.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this demo, we present a multimodal conversationsystem, implemented using a Nao robot and Wikipedia. The system was developed at the 8th International Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces in Metz, France, 2012. The system is based on an interactive, open-domain spoken dialogue systemcalled WikiTalk, which guides the user through conversations based on the link structure of Wikipedia. In addition to speech interaction, the robot interacts with users by tracking their faces and nodding/gesturing at key points of interest within the Wikipedia text. The proximity detection capabilities of the Nao,as well as its tactile sensors were used to implement context-based interrupts in the dialogue system.
