Abstract

Creating robots that can fluidly converse in natural language, and cooperate and sozialize with their human partners is a goal that has always captured human imagination. Furthermore, it is a goal that requires truly interdisciplinary research: engineering, computer science, as well as the cognitive sciences are crucial towards its realization. Challenges and current progress towards this goal will be illustrated through two real-world robot examples: the conversational robot Ripley, and the FaceBots social robots which utilize and publish social information on the FaceBook website. Finally, a quick glimpse towards novel educational and artistic avenues opened by such robots will be provided, through the Interactive Theatre installation of the Ibn Sina robot.
