Abstract

In our research we present a speech recognition friendly artificial language that is specially designed and implemented for humans to talk to robots. We call this language Robot Interaction Language (ROILA). In this paper, we describe our current work with ROILA that utilizes the Nao humanoid robot. Our current demo implementation will allow users to interact with the Nao robot without the usage of any external laptops or microphones. Therefore the purpose of our demo is two-fold: 1) to demonstrate ``live" that ROILA has improved recognition accuracy over English and 2) to demonstrate that users can interact with the Nao robot in ROILA without the use of any external devices.
