Springer Dialogues with Social Robots: Human-Robot Interaction & AI

This comprehensive volume from Springer examines cutting-edge developments in social robotics and spoken dialogue systems, bringing together contributions from leading researchers in the field. The book explores human-robot interaction, spoken language understanding, multimodal communication, and system evaluation methodologies essential for building advanced social robots and conversational AI systems. With chapters addressing dialogue state tracking, evaluation frameworks for human-robot dialogue, and socio-cognitive language approaches, this work provides both theoretical insights and practical solutions for developers and researchers working at the intersection of robotics, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering series (volume 427), it serves as an authoritative resource for understanding the current landscape of interactive robot systems and their real-world applications.
