Differences between conversational and query-response approaches in multimodal interplay with a robot

This research examines conversational versus query-response techniques within the scope of a multimodal human-robot interaction. For the purpose of this comparison, two analogous AI agents were developed: both designed to aid users in finding video data using voice-based commands but differing in their interaction style. The experiment results suggest that the conversational approach might provide a higher level of efficiency within the interaction, more reliable results, and a more engaging user experience in comparison to the query-response approach. These findings enhance our understanding of the potential implications and applications of conversational agents in the domain of human-robot interactions and potentially broaden their scope for beneficial use in other diverse contexts
