Abstract
This article introduces the development of a human-robot interaction’s system. The NAO humanoid robot has been programmed to play the popular 20 questions (20Q) game. The system includes modules for both, speech recognition and text-to-speech as mechanisms for exchanging information with the humanoid robot. The system has been tested with non-expert volunteers to analyse which kind of interaction is obtained.
