Generating Robotic Speech Prosody for Human Robot Interaction: A Preliminary Study

The use of affective speech in robotic applications has increased recent years, especially regarding the developments or studies emotional prosody for a specific group people. current work proposes prosody-based communication system that considers limited parameters found recognition elderly, example. This explored what types voices were more effective understanding presented information, and if affects robot reflected on states listeners. By using functions small humanoid robot, two different experiments conducted to find out comprehension level reflection respectively. University students participated both tests. results showed helped users understand as well they felt corresponding negative emotions conversations with voices.
