Koki Inoue, Shuichiro Ogake, Hayato Kawamura, Naoki Igo

Today, as seen in smart speakers, spoken dialogue technology is rapidly advancing to enable human-like interaction. However, current dialogue systems cannot pay attention not only to the content of speech, but also to the way of speaking and eye contact and facial expressions, while watching the facial expressions of the person with whom one is speaking. Therefore, this study participated in a Japanese competition called the "Dialogue Robot Competition" and attempted to develop a dialogue system that includes control of not only the content of speech but also the robot's facial expressions and gaze in order to realize a humanoid robot that can naturally interact with humans.
