Abstract
A method for robot interaction, preferably including: receiving a user input, determining a robot-associated response based on the user input, and presenting the robot-associated response. A system, preferably including: a robot, a conversation client, and a response module.
Claims20
A method for simulating conversation with a robot, the method comprising:
- a) at a user device separate from the robot, receiving, from a user, a conversation input associated with a conversation;
- b) at the user device, in response to receiving the conversation input:
- sending, to the robot, a control instruction associated with robot simulation of participation in the conversation;
- and
- based on the conversation input and a response module of the user device, determining a response;
- c) at the robot:
- receiving the control instruction;
- and
- based on the control instruction, controlling the robot to perform an action associated with robot simulation of participation in the conversation;
- d) after controlling the robot to perform the action, at the user device, presenting the response;
- and
- e) repeating a) through d) until a conversation input is not received from the user for more than a threshold time interval.

A method for simulating conversation with a robot, the method comprising:
- at the robot:
- retrieving a personality module;
- and
- automatically controlling the robot based on the personality module;
- at a user device separate from the robot;
- selecting a response module associated with the personality module;
- receiving a conversation input associated with a conversation with a user;
- in response to receiving the conversation input, sending, to the robot, a control instruction associated with robot simulation of participation in the conversation;
- and
- based on the conversation input and the response module, determining a response;
- at the robot, after automatically controlling the robot based on the personality module:
- receiving the control instruction;
- and
- based on the control instruction, controlling the robot to perform an action associated with robot simulation of participation in the conversation;
- and
- after controlling the robot to perform the action, presenting the response to the user.
