Beschreibungen
<p><strong>Robots That Talk and Listen </strong>provides a forward-looking examination of speech and language in robots from technical, functional, and social perspectives. </p>
<p>Contributors address cultural foundations as well as the linguistic skills and technologies that robots need to function effectively in real-world settings. Among the most difficult and complex is the ability to understand and use language. </p>
<p>Speech-enabled automata are already serving as interactive toys, teacher’s aides, and research assistants. These robots will soon be joined by personal companions, industrial co-workers, and military support automata. </p>
<p>The social impact of these and other robots extends well beyond the specific tasks they perform. Contributors tackle the most knotty of those issues, notably acceptance of advanced, speech-enabled robots and developing ethical and moral controls for robots. </p>
<p>Topics in this book include:</p>
<p>• Language and Beyond: The True Meaning of “Speech Enabled” <br>• Robots in Myth and Media <br>• Enabling Robots to Converse <br>• Language Learning by Automata <br>• Handling Noisy Settings<br>• Empirical Studies of Robots in Real-World Environments <br>• Acceptance of Intelligent Robots<br>• Managing Robots that Can Lie and Deceive<br>• Envisioning a World Shared with Intelligent Robots<br></p>
