Survey on - Socially Intelligent Robots by using NLP

Abstract

The design of natural interaction with social robots is highly complex process, given the huge design space of robots in terms of appearance and behaviour and the challenges arising when using face detection and speech recognition in the wild. More natural and highly autonomous interaction is necessary to faster trust and engagement and hence establishing a longterm social relationship between users and robots. NLP is used to-extract user's basic information, hobbies and interests for building a rich user profile. This presents the framework design to enable the development of social robotic applications by cross-disciplinary teams of programmers and interaction designers and advantages and disadvantages of social robots.

Natural Language Processing Applications in Business

“…For Natural Language Processing Applications in Business DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.92203 learning of language-related subjects, it can enhance teaching by focusing on reading, writing and speaking. In general, it can support the needs of students, teachers and researchers [40][41][42][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. Language assessment (formative and summative) is one of the upcoming major areas of NLP application, being used for assessing student's proficiency in reading, writing and speaking (e.g., automated scoring system for assessing/grading essays using NLP techniques).…”

“…One of its current uses pertains to the chatbot/virtual assistant applications that are used for various purposes, including teaching, training, tutoring and assessment in the education sector. Chatbots can also be integrated with gaming technologies, which promotes an active learner environment in the E-Learning context, with virtual characters or avatars [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. The chatbot application, similar to E-Learning resources, also fosters students' engagement in learning activities by motivating them and gaining their attention by using innovative media features [57].…”

“…Given the versatile nature of robots, NLP will become more important than ever, because a single misinterpreted command by one could lead to it performing undesirable actions and may even cause harm to humans. Research on designing socially intelligent robots by using NLP [66,67] has been increasing in recent years, which could result in the development of fully functional and safe humanoids in the near future.…”
