Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 A humanoid robot capable of implementing the invention in several embodiments of the invention is shown.

[0043] This humanoid robot is shown in the drawings of embodiments of the present invention. This robot has been disclosed notably in patent application WO2009 / 124951 published on 10 / 15 / 2009. This platform was used as the basis for the improvements leading to the present invention. In the remainder of the description, the humanoid robot may be referred to by its generic name or by its trademark NAO TM to refer to without affecting the generality of the reference.

[0044] The robot includes about two dozen (24) electronic control boards for the sensors and actuators that control the joints. The electronic control board includes a commercially available microcontroller. For example this could be a DSPIC from Microchip TM . It's a 16-bit MCU coupled to a DSP. This MCU has a one millisecond servo loop cycle. The robot could also include other types o...

Abstract

The invention concerns a humanoid robot, said robot being capable of holding a dialogue with at least one user, said dialogue using two speech recognition modes, one open and the other closed, the closed mode being defined by a concept characterising a sequence of dialogue. The dialogue can also be influenced by events that are neither speech nor a text. The robot of the invention is capable of executing behaviour and generating expressions and emotions. Relative to the robots of the prior art, the invention provides the advantage of considerably reducing the programming time and latency of execution of the sequences of dialogue, which provides a fluency and a nature close to human dialogues.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of robotic programming systems. Specifically, it can be used to equip humanoid robots already equipped with the ability to perform behaviors with the advanced ability to converse with a user. A robot can be described as humanoid when it possesses some attributes of human appearance and function: head, torso, arms, possibly hands, legs, feet, etc. But in the context of the present invention, the most important human-like characteristic is the ability to speak in dialogue with humans, which must be as compatible as possible with the robot's character and emotional gestures and / or symbolic expressions. It is conceivable to develop applications of the "robot companion" type, i.e. capable of conspicuously representing one or more persons in a dependent state while providing the person with a presence that can be considered an emotional quasi-equivalent to the existence of a human personal secretary , undertake multiple ...
