Research Abstract

We proposed a conversational robot system facilitating multiparty conversations. Although conventional spoken dialogue systems and conversational robots have focused on one-to-one dialogue, we focused on multiparty conversation situation. We developed a conversational robot that can support conversations to produce invaluable experiences.
