“…The performance of an individual in face-to-face conversation (Allwood, 2002) is also a complex symbolic object with its own compositional principles. The principal component symbolic elements are the speech stream, prosody, facial expressions, gaze direction, body posture, and gestures with the hands and arms.…”

“…Human face-to-face interaction is multimodal, involving several input and output streams used concurrently to transmit and receive information of various types [3]. While propositional content is transmitted verbally, much additional information can be communicated via non-verbal and paralinguistic audio ('um's and 'ah's in filled pauses, prosodic features), and visual channels (eye-gaze, gesture, posture).…”

Abstract-The paper presents a multimodal conversational interaction system for the Nao humanoid robot. The system was developed at the 8th International Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces, Metz, 2012. We implemented WikiTalk, an existing spoken dialogue system for open-domain conversations, on Nao. This greatly extended the robot's interaction capabilities by enabling Nao to talk about an unlimited range of topics. In addition to speech interaction, we developed a wide range of multimodal interactive behaviours by the robot, including facetracking, nodding, communicative gesturing, proximity detection and tactile interrupts. We made video recordings of user interactions and used questionnaires to evaluate the system. We further extended the robot's capabilities by linking Nao with Kinect.
