Innovative hospital reception service with social robot NAO

The robot NAO welcomes the user and asks how it can assist them. At this point, the user responds, and the robot, in turn, replies in two possible ways: If it has not understood the request, it prompts the user to rephrase it, and the process returns to the previous point. If it has understood the request, it explains the route the user needs to follow. Once the interaction has been successful or two consecutive attempts have failed, the robot asks the user if the necessary information has been provided. If yes, the robot dismisses the user. If no, the interaction resumes from the point where the robot asks for the department to reach or the exam to take.

Innovative hospital reception service with social robot PEPPER

"The robot PEPPER welcomes the user and asks how it can assist them, stating the following phrase: Good morning and welcome to INRCA. I am PEPPER and I am here to provide directions to help you reach your desired location within the hospital. Which department do you need to reach or which exam do you need to take? At this point, the user responds, and the robot, in turn, replies in two possible ways: If it has not understood the request, it prompts the user to rephrase it, and the process returns to the previous point. If it has understood the request, it explains the route the user needs to follow. Once the interaction has been successful or two consecutive attempts have failed, the robot asks the user if the necessary information has been provided. If yes, the robot dismisses the user as follows: Thank you for your participation. Have a good day. If no, the interaction resumes from the point where the robot asks for the department to reach or the exam to take."
