A markup language for describing interactive humanoid robot presentations

摘要

This paper presents a multi-modal presentation markup language for humanoid robots, MPML-HR ver. 3.0, which is able to describe presentation contents including speech-based interactions with audiences. Previous versions of MPML-HR do not feature any interaction functionality which dynamically changes the presentation according to the utterances by audiences, although such interaction makes the presentation more effective and understandable. Since MPML-HR ver. 3.0 inherits simple descriptions of previous versions of MPML-HR, the content designer can describe interactive presentations without configuring conventional complicated multi-modal interactive systems.
