Service humanoid robotics: a novel interactive system based on bionic-companionship framework

At present, industrial robotics focuses more on motion control and vision, whereas humanoid service (HSRs) are increasingly being investigated researched in the field of speech interaction. The problem quality human-robot interaction (HRI) has become a widely debated topic academia. Especially when HSRs applied hospitality industry, some researchers believe that current HRI model is not well adapted to complex social environment. generally lack ability accurately recognize human intentions understand scenarios. This study proposes novel interactive framework suitable for HSRs. proposed grounded integration Trevarthen’s (2001) companionship theory neural image captioning (NIC) generation algorithm. By integrating image-to-natural interactivity communicating with environment better interact stakeholder, thereby changing from bionic-companionship. Compared previous research system developed based bionic-companionship framework. robot was integrated conduct preliminary tests. results show can help effectively respond changes environment, example give different responses same character scenes.
