ROBOT CONTROL APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/031810
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A robot control apparatus. A user is allowed to recognize that his/her voice has been accepted. The user"s voice inputted via a microphone (15) is voice-recognized by a voice recognizing unit (50A). An action deciding mechanism unit (52) decides the next robot action based on that voice recognition. Meanwhile, an echo-back unit (56) analyzes prosody information of the user"s voice inputted via the microphone (15) and produces, on the basis of the analyzed prosody information, a voice whose prosody has been controlled, that is, an echo-back voice. This echo-back voice is applied through an output control unit (57) to a speaker (18) to be outputted thereby.
