Integrated Natural Spoken Dialogue System of Jijo-2 Mobile Robot for Office Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our Jijo-2 robot, whose purpose is to provide office services, such as answering queries about people’s location, route guidance, and delivery tasks, is expected to conduct natural spoken conversation with the office dwellers. This paper describes dialogue technologies implemented on our Jijo-2 office robot, i.e. noise-free voice acquisition system by a microphone array, inference of under-specified referents and zero pronouns using the attentional states, and context-sensitive construction of semantic frames from fragmented utterances. The behavior of the dialogue system integrated with the sound source detection, navigation, and face recognition vision is demonstrated in real dialogue examples in a real office.

Jijo-2: An Office Robot that Communicates and Learns
of precise motion, dexterous manipulation, and so forth—capabilities a factory robot requires—the increasingly popular interactive robot must be able to learn from and adapt to its dynamic environment and communicate with people. We have built an office robot, Jijo-2, as a testbed for autonomous intelligent systems that interact and learn in the real world (see Figure 1). Jijo-2’s most notable ...
متن کاملNatural Dialogue with the Jijo-2 O ce Robot
This paper reports on our work on the spoken dialogue interface to Jijo-2, an autonomous mobile o ce robot. We propose an attentional state model for ofce robot dialogue based on the centering model [2]. We give details of the implementation of Jijo-2's language components and give our algorithm for reducing the ambiguity of dialogues by identifying pronoun referents.

متن کاملA spoken dialog system for a mobile office robot
A spoken dialog interface of a mobile office robot is described. To realize robust speech recognition in noisy office environments, a microphone array system and a technique of switching multiple speech recognition processes with different dictionaries are introduced. To realize flexible and natural dialog, task dependent semantic frames and keeping track of attentional state of dialog are used...
