Get It Right: Improving Comprehensibility with Adaptable Speech Expression of a Humanoid Service Robot
As humanoid service robots are becoming more and more perceptible in public service settings for instance as a guide to welcome visitors or to explain a procedure to follow, it is desirable to improve the comprehensibility of complex issues for human customers and to adapt the level of difficulty of the information provided as well as the language used to individual requirements. This work examines a case study using a humanoid social robot Pepper performing support for customers in a public service environment offering advice and information. An application architecture is proposed that improves the intelligibility of the information received by providing the possibility to translate this information into easy language and/or into another spoken language.
