An Intelligent Personal Robot Assistant
This addresses the problem of improving human-machine interaction for users of personal robots, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing robotics and AI concepts.
The paper tackles the challenge of creating humanoid robots that can interact naturally with humans by developing a system that enables robots to receive commands, converse in natural language, be trained as domain experts, and display emotions through facial expressions, speech, and gestures.
Recent development in developing humanoid robot poses new challenges to human-machine interaction communication. A major challenge is to develop robots that can behave like and interact with human in the most natural way possible. This paper proposes a system to develop a robot that can receive command, and talk to people in natural language. In addition, the robot can also be "trained" to become an expert in sepcific areas to provide expert advice to human-beings. Most important of all, the robot can display emotions through facial expression, speech and gesture so that the interaction process will become more comprehensive and compelling.
