The Role of Speech Technology in User Perception and Context Acquisition in HRI

摘要: The role and relevance of speech synthesis recognition in social robotics is addressed this paper. To increase the generality study, interaction a human being with one two robots when executing tasks was considered. By making use these scenarios, state-of-the-art synthesizer compared non-linguistic utterances (1) from preference (2) perception robots’ capabilities, (3) typed text to input commands regarding user preference, (4) importance knowing context (5) synthetic voice acquire were evaluated. Speech are different technologies but generating understanding should be understood as dimensions same spoken language phenomenon. Also, robot denotes all information about operating conditions completeness status task that executed by robot. Two robotic setups for online experiments built. With first setup, where only employed, our findings indicate that: highly natural preferred over beep-like audio; users also prefer enter rather than typing text; and, has more important effect on perceived robot’s capability possibility voice. analysis presented here suggests interacted single robot, its cue cause anthropomorphization lost while carried out could evaluate better respect task. In experiment second two-robot collaborative testbed employed. When communicated each other sort problems they trying accomplish mission, observed situation distanced position “reflective” perspective dominated. Our results essential successful human–robot collaboration given objective. For purpose, synthesized screen acquisition.
