Deshmukh, A. , Mazel, A. and Foster, M. E. (2019) Contextual Non-verbal Behaviour Generation for Humanoid Robot Using Text Sentiment. 28th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2019), New Delhi, India, 14-18 Oct 2019.

Abstract

This paper describes an approach to synthesise non-verbal behaviours for a humanoid robot Pepper using spoken text. Our approach takes into account the sentiment of the spoken text and maps the appropriate gesture and sound relevant to that text in a parameterised manner. This work forms a basis for our planned user study where we will evaluate this approach.
