ROBOT CAPABLE OF INCORPORATING NATURAL DIALOGUES WITH A USER INTO THE BEHAVIOUR OF SAME, AND METHODS OF PROGRAMMING AND USING SAID ROBOT

摘要

A humanoid robot is provided, the robot being capable of holding a dialog with at least one user, the dialog using two modes of voice recognition, one open and the other closed, the closed mode being defined by a concept characterizing a dialog sequence. The dialog may also be influenced by events that are neither speech nor a text. The robot is capable of executing behaviors and generating expressions and emotions. It has the advantage of considerably reducing programming time and latency of execution of dialog sequences, providing a fluency and naturalness close to human dialogs.
