Waseda University’s Perceptual Computing Laboratory has posted a video showing their third generation conversational robot, SCHEMA, engaging in conversation with multiple groups. The robot listens intently as two humans talk about movies. When another person arrives, SCHEMA asks the person to wait while it finishes what it was going to say. It then directs its attention to the new comer, whom it has already recognized using image processing. What is important here is how quickly SCHEMA can respond to human questions and interjections. It doesn’t display any of the usual awkward pauses normally associated with talking robots
