使用非语言表达的交流，如手势、眼神、姿势和面部表情，在人类互动中发挥着重要作用。例如，在传达物体的位置和/或大小的空间信息时，指向动作也有助于简化语言表达。人们通过根据说话者的话语点头或改变面部表情，向说话者传达自己的心态，实现一个可交谈的环境。当前的会话系统都不具备如此充足的通信能力。作者在人形机器人中实现了身体和面部表情以及对话功能，并尝试实现自然的对话系统。结果，通过口头表达“那个”或“这个”有效地使用指向动作有助于简化口头表达并实现有节奏的对话。此外，通过面部表情向用户提供适当的反馈动作可以提高系统的透明度和界面的性能。
Communication using non-verbal expression, such as gesture, eyeshot, posture and facial expression, plays an important role in human interaction. For example, in conveying spatial information of the position and/or size of an object, pointing actions also contribute to simplifying the verbal expressions. By nodding or changing facial expressions toward the speaker's utterance, humans convey their state of mind to the speaker and realize a conversable environment. No current conversational systems are equipped with such adequate communicational ability. The authors implement body and facial expressions and conversational function in a humanoid robot and try to realize a natural conversational system. As a result, effective use of the pointing action with verbal expressions "that one" or "this one" contribute to simplifying the verbal expression and realization of rhythmical conversation. In addition, proper feedback actions to the user with facial expressions improve the transparency of the system and the performance of the interface.
