The Interaction module provides a variety of component technologies for developing rich human-robot interfaces. These components support interfaces for command and control of a robot or device, and allow it to provide feedback about its internal status. These components also enable the robot to interact in creative and interesting ways. ERSP Interaction technologies consist of:
Speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) for verbal interaction
Robot emotions and personality to create interesting and entertaining, life-like robot characters
Person detection and recognition of simple gestures such as a user nodding his or her head
