Dialogue Robot Competition

The Dialogue Robot Competition series focuses on advancing the capabilities of interactive humanoid robots in real-world dialogue scenarios, primarily through a travel planning task. Current research emphasizes the integration of large language models (LLMs) with rule-based systems and multimodal interaction (speech, gestures), addressing challenges like common ground establishment, turn-taking, and handling dialogue breakdowns. These competitions provide a valuable benchmark for evaluating dialogue system performance in complex, human-robot interaction settings, contributing to both theoretical advancements in human-computer interaction and practical improvements in service robotics.
