چکیده
Natural speech interaction is a difficult, yet important, capability for a social humanoidal robot. We address the problems of spontaneous speaking style in a real environment and report on our progress of developing a robust large vocabulary speech recognition engine for an anthropomorphic entertainment robot SDR-4X.

متن کاملDetection of Speaker Direction Based on the On-and-Off Microphone Combination for Entertainment Robots
An important function of entertainment robots is voice communication with humans. For realizing them, accurate speech recognition and a speaker-direction detection mechanism are necessary. The directnoise problem is serious in such speech processing. The microphone attached to the robot body receives not only human voices but also motor and mechanical noises directly. The direct noises are ofte...
