CONTRASTING SENTENCES AS ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

This project proposes an alternative version of the ontology used by Pepper Robots in project CARESSES. With the aim of improving verbal interactions with people this new version of ontology introduces sentences that contrast the user.

In the CKB folder you will find two ontologies:

OntologyDescription
CKB_stdThe standard ontology, the robot is compliant with the user
CKB_devThe proposed ontology, the robot tries to contrast the user

How to run

  • Make sure you have Java installed
  • From terminal go to the CKB folder
  • Take one of the two ontologies, copy and rename it as CKB.owl
  • Start the conversation with the command java -jar CKB.jar -type 1
  • Enjoy the conversation

Please Note

During the conversation the ontology is updated according to the user's answers. If you want to start from scratch a new conversation you have to delete the actual CKB.owl file and replace it with a new one.
