A social interaction system for studying humor with the Robot NAO

摘要

The video of our demonstrator presents a social interaction system for studying humor with the Aldebaran robot NAO. Our application records and analyzes audio and video stream to provide real-time feedback. Using this dialog system during show & tell sessions at Interspeech 2013, we have collected different kind of laughter (positive and negative) from 45 subjects. The participants were involved in a verbal exchange with NAO, including tongue-twisters games and jokes, as well as witty remarks and laughs from the robot. The conversation data captured is used here to study subject behaviors from various personalities and cultural backgrounds.
