Abstract

Specifics of dialogue model and designing multimodal user interface for a mobile robot intended for inquiry and navigation services for visitors in a shopping mall are considered in the paper. Humanoid shape and style of communication became more popular and possible for state-of-the-art social robot due to rapid development of the embedded systems and the methods for audiovisual processing of natural modalities. The proposed user interface is based on distant speech recognition and talking head techniques. The hierarchical structure of sub-dialogues connected with robot function modes is proposed to reduce the complexity of speech processing. The template-based models for key phrases were prepared in each sub-dialogue for promotion, inquiry, and guide modes of the mobile robot.
