6 == Future Improvements ==
7
8 Our prototype still has some room for improvement.
9
10 * Create a separate conversation path for promoting Pwd to drink instead of incorporating very brief conversations that prompt Pwds to drink water in
11 meal discourse. Enrich the dialogue of promoting drinking water and enrich the corresponding expressions and postures of our prototype, Elevate this
12 conversation to a level as important as meal discourse.
13
14 * Our current prototype only could automatically react to answers with specific keywords which are easy to be recognized, such as "Yes", "No",
15 and"Great", and we use remotely manually control for open questions, like "How did you feel?", "How are you today?" and "What have you eaten
16 today?". We would like to make some improvements to the prototype, in order to let it automatically recognize more content in Pwd utterances.
17
18 * Improving the speech quality of our prototype, making it more clear and easy to understand for the PwD. By doing this, We would slow down the
19 speed some parts of the prototype utterances and improve the pronunciation quality of our prototype.
20
21 * Let the robot have a certain reasoning ability so that it can infer whether the Pwd has eaten, drank water, and had specific emotions, in case if
22 Pwd forgot they had eaten and drank, or couldn't express their emotion well. By doing this, we hope to come up with more rich forms of interactions
23 between our prototype and Pwd to gather more information from Pwds and give robots enough data to reason about.
24
25 == Implemented Interactions ==
26
27 The interaction described above consists of smaller different interactions which are presented below:
28
