感情認識及び感情創生に基づく知的学内案内ロボットの構築

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 campus navigation robot is developed. It recognizes a user’s utterance
using a speech recognizer, and retrieves information from a knowledge database. 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.
