知能エージェント及び工学部ナビゲーションシステムの開発

Recent years, a huge amount of information is available through the internet, and many information
retrievers have been developed. However, these retrievers only show retrieved results without hearty
communication.
In this paper, an intelligent agent is developed. It recognizes a user’s utterance using a speech
recognizer, and retrieves information from the World Wide Web. Finally, the agent makes an
appropriate answer from retrieved results, and give it to the user. In order to communicate with a
user warmheartedly, the agent also recognizes user’s emotion from a voice and a facial expression,
and the agent represents it’s own emotion using voice and behaviour.
We also develop the intelligent campus navigation robot using the proposed intelligent agent.
The robot can give a user campus information, chat with a user, and communicate with a user
warmheartedly.
