Design of Emotional Conversations with a Child for a Role Playing Robot

Published: 02 March 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The children who suffer from psychological and emotional disorder are unaccustomed to cooperation, shared meaning, sympathy, empathy, and magnanimity. In recent, several attempts has been tried at increasing children's social skills by emotional role-playing game with robots because the robotic system can offer dynamic, adaptive and autonomous interaction for learning of imitation skills with real-time performance evaluation and feedback. But there are limits in robot technologies. Especially, it is very difficult to understand the children's word and take suitable behaviors for the children's intents. Therefore, we suggest a method of guiding an emotional robot playing robot conversations with a child in this paper. For the purpose, we design a human-robot-interaction software and a special human intervention device (HID). And finally, we implement our suggested method with a commercial humanoid robot.
