However, in this case, in addition to requiring a high-speed microcomputer to recognize the user's speech, it is extremely difficult to commercialize it at a low price due to the large amount of program description.
On the other hand, in existing relatively cheap products, due to the limitation of the number of phrases mentioned above, the user's speech cannot be recognized in many cases, and the conversation is easy to be delayed.
As a result, there are problems with the performance of the communication between the conversational pet robot and the user

To provide a novel interactive pet robot capable of proceeding conversation even if there is restriction on the number of utterance phrases and the number of response phrases. The interactive pet robot has a control part 9 for performing processing according to description of a program read out from a storage part. The program defines proceeding procedures of the conversation with a user using branches, in which a content of a question, a plurality of choices of answers to the question, and an action corresponding to each of the choices are associated. If the content of the question is outputted by sound, a plurality of choices associated with the question are displayed on a display 3 as propositions for the answer to the question. If a whole sentence of one of the choices displayed on the display 3 is uttered by the user, speech recognition is performed so as to identify one choice corresponding to utterance by the user, and to decide the action corresponding to the choice as the next reaction performed by the interactive pet robot corresponding to the answer.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conversational pet robot, in particular to a pet robot suitable for foreign language learning. Background technique [0002] Heretofore, conversational pet robots that communicate with users are known, one of which is a pet robot used for foreign language learning in English conversation. In addition, Patent Document 1 below discloses a robot for learning a foreign language that is equipped with a speech recognition engine, translates spoken native language into a foreign language, and emits a sound. The robot has an appearance shape simulating the shape of a duck or a penguin, and a display screen is arranged on its head. On this display screen, facial expressions (eyes, nose, mouth) are displayed, and the displayed facial expressions are changed to speak according to the utterance of the translated language. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-351305 [0004] However,...
