Tweet

Session abstract

After his first steps into robotics and IoT, this session’s speaker decided to take it one step further: a more realistic robot that knows who you are and responds to your questions. Using chatbot technology and voice and face recognition, this robot can become a real add-on to your daily life. In this session, you will learn how the speaker extended an off-the-shelf solution with additional cloud technology to make these things work.

My Notes

The room is almost empty so I hope that I didn’t make a wrong choice.

I am curious though.

• a chatbot is a computer program designed to simulate conversion with human users, especially over the internet
• a bit converses in a different way then humans.

intent

• What do you want to do
• you can express intent by uttering utterances
  • i want to order a pizza
  • I am really hungry
  • I am watching a movie and need pizza man
  • etc, more utterances is better
• you can give meaning to intent by saying something like I want order a large cheese pizza
• training of chatbots with utterances
