Facial caricature as a facial image media acts as an interface between the user and the computer. We developed the facial caricaturing robot “COOPER” (Fig. 1) that was exhibited at the Prototype Robot Exhibition of EXPO 2005 [1]. COOPER watches the face of a person seated at the chair, obtains facial images, and analyzes the images to extract 251 feature points to generate his facial line drawi...

− In this paper, we propose a Bayesian network framework for managing interactivity between a tour-guide robot and visitors in mass exhibition conditions, through robust interpretation of multi-modal signals. We report on methods and experiments interpreting speech and laser scanner signals in the spoken dialogue management system of the autonomous tour-guide robot RoboX, successfully deployed ...

In the scenario of technological changes that were introduced by the waves of globalisation and the construction of an Information Society, together with recent national distresses, Brazilian cities face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development. Having in mind this complex landscape, this article seeks to analyse the experience Rio Operations Centre (ROC) of ...

In this paper, we propose a method based on Bayesian networks for interpretation of multimodal signals used in the spoken dialogue between a tour-guide robot and visitors in mass exhibition conditions. We report on experiments interpreting speech and laser scanner signals in the dialogue management system of the autonomous tour-guide robot RoboX, successfully deployed at the Swiss National Exhi...
