ABSTRACT
This paper discusses converging evidence to support the hypothesis that personified robots and other embodied personified computational systems may represent a new ontological category, where ontology refers to basic categories of being, and ways of distinguishing them.

Multi-Viewpoints Ontological Knowledge Representation: A Fuzzy Description Logics Based Approach
ICEMIS '18: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Engineering & MIS 2018Description Logics (DLs) play a key role in the design of ontologies. An ontology is a formal description of important concepts in a particular domain. In practice, a set of a specific-domain applications use different representations of the same real ...
Lexical Entrainment in Multi-party Human–Robot Interaction
Social RoboticsAbstractThis paper reports lexical entrainment in a multi-party human–robot interaction, wherein one robot and two humans serve as participants. Humans tend to use the same terms as their interlocutors while making conversation. This phenomenon is called ...
A dialogue system for multimodal human-robot interaction
ICMI '13: Proceedings of the 15th ACM on International conference on multimodal interactionThis paper presents a POMDP-based dialogue system for multimodal human-robot interaction (HRI). Our aim is to exploit a dialogical paradigm to allow a natural and robust interaction between the human and the robot. The proposed dialogue system should ...
