Commitment ensured natural language human-robot interface system

摘要

In this paper we first discuss how the commitment in human-robot natural language conversation is important and the lack of the commitment leads to breakdown in conversation. Then, we propose human-robot conversation model, which takes the breakdowns in conversation into consideration. We have implemented natural language interface system of mobile robot, based on the proposed conversation model. We also have conducted experiments with subjects and confirmed that the proposed interface system provides more natural conversation between human and robot with fewer breakdowns.
