Talking Robot at Science Center?

[grantyale]

Has anyone seen the talking robot in the science center? It's in that futuristic hall, next to the "low battery" LEGO robot. I saw it talking with quite a few kids with their parents watching by the side.
However, I feel that the robot's AI capability is beyond the current technology - basically it seems to recognize speech in a multi-source noisy environment and respond to the questions real-time. :think: If I remembered correctly, the best commercial voice-to-text software still needs to be trained to the specific user's accent, and most voice synthesis software still sound unnatural - but this robot carries a robotic voice with human intonation (and a little bit of local accent if I'm not wrong).
Another curious thing is it only operates for a very short period time every day. :sweat:

Wowww.... this robot sounds really cool...
But being so cool, maybe it can only operate for a short period a day due to overheating?

Some of us have the feeling that some of the messages in Kopitiam are being posted by some typing robots.

there is a camera and a mic hidden somewhere...behind the robot, there is a room in which the operator "listens and speaks" via the robot.

Inside the robot is a Hokkien Peng.
