arXiv:2607. 24190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social robots that rely on large language models for conversation are unable to retain information across sessions.
Empathetic social robots should respond not only to what users say, but also to how their emotions dynamically evolve during interaction. However, existing empathetic dialogue systems are often text-c...
arXiv:2607. 14593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As conversational AI systems are designed for repeated use, a central question is how a series of interactions becomes a relationship.
arXiv:2607. 17564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI companions are judged not only by single-turn fluency but by whether they sustain emotional continuity: remembering who the companion is, what the user prefers, and how the relationship has felt.
arXiv:2606. 06055v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory enables language model agents to support personalized interactions, but it remains unclear when available memories warrant integration into responses.
The paper examines whether fine‑tuning large language models (LLMs) with personality‑labelled data improves their ability to act as socially interactive agents. Two small open‑weight LLMs were fine‑tuned on a corpus of personality‑labelled social media posts and dialogues, and the resulting models were evaluated in various social interaction scenarios by independent LLM judges. The findings show that the fine‑tuned models do not outperform their baseline counterparts in role‑playing personalities, though they offer comparable text quality and increased linguistic diversity for the Qwen models; low inter‑rater agreement limits confidence in the results, suggesting future work should focus on training data quality and domain alignment.

The paper introduces an LLM-based Conversational AI Knowledge Assistant for the Raspberry‑Pi‑powered 13‑Axis MyBuddy humanoid robot. It combines large language model-driven language understanding, real‑time speech recognition, internet‑based knowledge retrieval (e.g., Wikipedia, arXiv), flexible dialogue management, and natural speech synthesis to support intelligent, multi‑turn conversations and emotional‑support interactions. This system aims to overcome the limitations of traditional rule‑based dialogue systems in humanoid robots.
arXiv:2607. 14252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon robot planning requires more than predicting what actions will do next; it also requires memory of the embodied experience that makes future goals interpretable.
arXiv:2607. 24113v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Previous research has shown that a human-like robot's acceptance heavily depends on the setting in which it operates and its ability to perform relevant tasks.
arXiv:2607. 16428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For a second time, the android robot Andrea was set up at a public museum in Germany for six consecutive days to have conversations with visitors, fully autonomously.
arXiv:2609.36595v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual-memory systems commonly retain or compress past observations. Robot control additionally requires interaction-derived state that no individual...
arXiv:2606. 18258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit a wide range of human-like behaviors, from expressing thoughts and emotions, to engaging in relationship-building with users, to refusing requests and maintaining boundaries.
