Talking with ERICA, an autonomous android
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate dialogues with an autonomous android ERICA, who has an appearance like a human being. Currently, ERICA plays two social roles: a laboratory guide and a counselor. It is designed to follow the protocols of human dialogue to make the user comfortable: (1) having a chat before the main talk, (2) proactively asking questions, and (3) conveying proper feedbacks. The combination of the human-like appearance and the appropriate behaviors according to her social roles allows for symbiotic human-robot interaction.
