Simultaneous Dialog Robot System

Abstract

Various types of communication robots have been used in practical applications. Cases where robots are utilized as receptionist, among others, are increasing. However, this trend is not new nowadays. Generally, robots that are used for reception and customer services are developed on the assumption of one-on-one customer service. Thus, when one user interacts with the robot, other customers have to wait for their turn. In this research, we propose a system that can simultaneously serve many people by using one robot with multiple directional microphones and speakers.
