A method for Selecting Scenes and Emotion-based Descriptions for a Robot's Diary
In this study, we examined scene selection methods and emotion-based
descriptions for a robot's daily diary. We proposed a scene selection method
and an emotion description method that take into account semantic and affective
information, and created several types of diaries. Experiments were conducted
to examine the change in sentiment values and preference of each diary, and it
was found that the robot's feelings and impressions changed more from date to
date when scenes were selected using the affective captions. Furthermore, we
found that the robot's emotion generally improves the preference of the robot's
diary regardless of the scene it describes. However, presenting negative or
mixed emotions at once may decrease the preference of the diary or reduce the
robot's robot-likeness, and thus the method of presenting emotions still needs
further investigation.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, ROMAN 202
Automatic Diary Generation System including Information on Joint Experiences between Humans and Robots
In this study, we propose an automatic diary generation system that uses
information from past joint experiences with the aim of increasing the
favorability for robots through shared experiences between humans and robots.
For the verbalization of the robot's memory, the system applies a large-scale
language model, which is a rapidly developing field. Since this model does not
have memories of experiences, it generates a diary by receiving information
from joint experiences. As an experiment, a robot and a human went for a walk
and generated a diary with interaction and dialogue history. The proposed diary
achieved high scores in comfort and performance in the evaluation of the
robot's impression. In the survey of diaries giving more favorable impressions,
diaries with information on joint experiences were selected higher than diaries
without such information, because diaries with information on joint experiences
showed more cooperation between the robot and the human and more intimacy from
the robot.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, IAS-1
