Findings from human-android dialogue research with ERICA

Abstract

Human-android interaction is a domain where dialogue management is combined with realistic humanoids. In this work we provide a summary of our dialogue research with the android ERICA. We provide an outline of what we have accomplished until now, with discussions of ERICA’s dialogue management in several scenarios, both linguistic and non-linguistic. From formal experiments and informal commentary from users, we draw upon several findings during the project that should be considered with human-android dialogue research but can also be applied to other robots and agents.
