Abstract: | To achieve smooth real-world interaction between people and computers, we developed a system that displays a three-dimensional
computer-graphic human-like image from the waist up (anthropomorphic software robot: hereinafter “robot”) on the display,
that interactively sees and hears, and that has fine and detailed control functions such as facial expressions, line of sight,
and pointing at targets with its finger. The robot visually searches and identifies persons and objects in real space that
it has learned in advance (registered space, which was our office in this case), manages the history information of the places
and times it found objects and/or persons, and tells the user, indicating their three-dimensional positions with line of sight
and its finger. It interactively learns new objects and persons with line of with their names and owners. By using this function,
the robot can engage in simple dialogue (do a task) with the user.
