论文摘要
近年来，许多作品研究了对话机器人执行特定任务的可行性，例如医疗保健和访谈。随着这一发展，还有一个实际问题：我们应该如何合成机器人声音以满足不同情况的需求？在本文中，我们从三个角度讨论了这个问题：1）综合非语言和面向互动的语音信号的困难，尤其是回音信号； 2）机器人语音综合的场景分类； 3）关于机器人声音的情感和身份的设计道德问题。我们介绍了相关文献和先前的工作的发现，试图引起人类互动研究人员的注意，以设计未来更好的对话机器人。
In recent years, many works have investigated the feasibility of conversational robots for performing specific tasks, such as healthcare and interview. Along with this development comes a practical issue: how should we synthesize robotic voices to meet the needs of different situations? In this paper, we discuss this issue from three perspectives: 1) the difficulties of synthesizing non-verbal and interaction-oriented speech signals, particularly backchannels; 2) the scenario classification for robotic voice synthesis; 3) the ethical issues regarding the design of robot voice for its emotion and identity. We present the findings of relevant literature and our prior work, trying to bring the attention of human-robot interaction researchers to design better conversational robots in the future.
