“…Further, a number of studies revealed that hand gestures improve user perceptions of robots on scales such as likability, and competence, and future contact intentions (e.g. [2][3] [4]). A possible explanation for this finding is that humanoid robots engender humanlike behavioural expectations in people they interact with, thus, when these expectations are met, the interaction is viewed more positively.…”

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.

“…However, hand recognition was too much dependent on the lighting and background, so in practise we did not include it in the interaction repertoire, but used tapping on the robot's head instead. See [4] for a review of the experiments on hand recognition.…”

In this paper we discuss the design of human-robot interaction focussing especially on social robot communication and multimodal information presentation. As a starting point we use the WikiTalk application, an open-domain conversational system which has been previously developed using a robotics simulator. We describe how it can be implemented on the Nao robot platform, enabling Nao to make informative spoken contributions on a wide range of topics during conversation. Spoken interaction is further combined with gesturing in order to support Nao's presentation by natural multimodal capabilities, and to enhance and explore natural communication between human users and robots.
