Intelligent Robot Architecture (1-3)  Background of research  Research objectives  By recognizing and analyzing user’s utterances and actions, an intelligent robot must be able to capture the intention of the user to make correct responses  In a multimodal dialog environment, a human and a robot interact by using combinations of spoken language and various gestures, even facial expressions. Therefore, a multimodal interface technique is important for developing an intelligent robot  Multimodal interaction manager model - Combine and analyze the speech and gesture - Recognition to capture the intention of the user - Decide the robot’s intention according to the user’s intention. i.e., decide what to do and what to say.  Intelligent user modeling - Define generic user models and develop a reinforcement learning for a friendly evolving interaction.
