| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we have combined and extended our two previous interdisciplinary studies with philosophy and sociology. The former is to recognize objects through natural language interaction with users based on an ontology, and the latter is to investigate interaction through nonverbal behaviors. We have developed a robot system that moves around a care facility and finds elderly people calling it by gestures. We do not need to specify any gesture patterns in advance but the robot can still recognize natural gestures intended for calling. It can also recognize objects indicated by users. Even in cases where the robot cannot automatically recognize objects at first, it can ask the users to verbally provide information about the objects to complete its tasks. Using our ontology, the robot can understand complex verbal expressions made by humans, where they could indicate the same things by different words or vice versa. We demonstrated the robot in an actual care facility.
