We have held dialogue robot competitions in 2020 and 2022 to compare the performances of interactive robots using an android that closely resembles a human. In 2023, the third competition DRC2023 was held. The task of DRC2023 was designed…
Although many competitions have been held on dialogue systems in the past, no competition has been organized specifically for dialogue with humanoid robots. As the first such attempt in the world, we held a dialogue robot competition in…
At the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023), which was held to improve the capability of dialogue robots, our team developed a system that could build common ground and take more natural turns based on user utterance texts. Our system…
The proceedings contain papers on the dialogue systems developed by the twelve teams participating in DRC2022, as well as an overview paper summarizing the competition.
This paper describes the dialog robot system designed by Team Irisapu for the preliminary round of the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). In order to generate dialogue responses flexibly while adhering to predetermined scenarios, we…
This paper describes the dialog robot system designed by Team Irisapu for the preliminary round of the Dialogue Robot Competition 2022 (DRC2022). Our objective was to design a hospitable travel agent robot. The system we developed was…
This paper describes our dialogue system submitted to Dialogue Robot Competition 2023. The system's task is to help a user at a travel agency decide on a plan for visiting two sightseeing spots in Kyoto City that satisfy the user. Our…
We developed a dialogue system for Dialogue Robot Competition 2022. Our system is composed of three parts. First part investigates participants' demographic information by rule-based interview. Second part recommends a point of interest…
We developed a dialogue system as a team NTT-EASE in the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). We introduce a dialogue system (EASE-DRCBot) constructed for DRC2023. EASE-DRCBot incorporates a manually defined dialogue flow. The…
This paper describes a personality-adaptive multimodal dialogue system developed for the Dialogue Robot Competition 2022. To realize a dialogue system that adapts the dialogue strategy to individual users, it is necessary to consider the…
Today, as seen in smart speakers, spoken dialogue technology is rapidly advancing to enable human-like interaction. However, current dialogue systems cannot pay attention not only to the content of speech, but also to the way of speaking…
To improve the interactive capabilities of a dialogue system, e.g., to adapt to different customers, the Dialogue Robot Competition (DRC2022) was held. As one of the teams, we built a dialogue system with a pipeline structure containing…
We introduce our system developed for Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). First, rule-based utterance selection and utterance generation using a large language model (LLM) are combined. We ensure the quality of system utterances…
In task-oriented dialogues with symbiotic robots, the robot usually takes the initiative in dialogue progression and topic selection. In such robot-driven dialogue, the user's sense of participation in the dialogue is reduced because the…
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have rapidly proliferated and have been utilized in various tasks, including research in dialogue systems. We aimed to construct a system that not only leverages the flexible conversational…
Various studies have been conducted on human-supporting robot systems. These systems have been put to practical use over the years and are now seen in our daily lives. In particular, robots communicating smoothly with people are expected to…
We envision robots that can collaborate and communicate seamlessly with humans. It is necessary for such robots to decide both what to say and how to act, while interacting with humans. To this end, we introduce a new task, dialogue object…
Humans are easily conscious of small differences in an android robot's (AR's) behaviors and utterances, resulting in treating the AR as not-human, while ARs treat us as humans. Thus, there exists asymmetric communication between ARs and…
The number of robots deployed in our daily surroundings is ever-increasing. Even in the industrial set-up, the use of coworker robots is increasing rapidly. These cohabitant robots perform various tasks as instructed by co-located human…
As social robots see increasing deployment within the general public, improving the interaction with those robots is essential. Spoken language offers an intuitive interface for the human-robot interaction (HRI), with dialogue management…
