Abstract
One crucial problem for a humanoid service robot is to be able to communicate with humans naturally. This study focuses on this issue and develops a social interactive system for a humanoid robot to interact with human beings. The interactive system features hearing, voice conversation, and facial and full body emotional expression capability. Experiments are conducted on the robot to interact with humans in a real human indoor environment, and the effectiveness of the system is evaluated.
