Report on robot-user verbal interaction

The Deliverable is the output of Task 4.1, 4.2. The report describes the development of methods for robot-user verbal interaction, by using off-the-shelf rule-based dialogue systems for speech recognition and synthesis (e.g., the NAOqi Dialog and Chat modules, embedded in the Pepper robot and available in different languages including English, Greek, and Japanese). Different interaction modalities (based on the recognition of relevant keywords and on multiple-choice dialogue) will be explored, both speech-based and touchscreen-based, and this process will be documented in the report.
