Abstract
Manzai robots
This paper introduces manzai robots – entertainment robots that automatically create manzai scripts from Internet articles based on keywords given by the audiences and perform manzai based on created manzai scripts. The robot consists two robots connected to the Internet that automatically create manzai scripts from Web news articles in response to a user’s keywords using data mining and manzai techniques. After manzai scripts are created, the two robots perform manzai using these scripts. This paper reviews the robot system configuration, manzai script creation, and robot-based management.
