Abstract

The paper describes an approach that combines work from three fields with previously separate research commu-nities: social robotics, conversational AI, and graph databases. The aim is to develop a generic framework in which a variety of social robots can provide high-quality information to users by accessing semantically-rich knowledge graphs about multiple different domains. An example implementation uses a Furhat robot with Rasa open source conversational AI and knowledge graphs in Neo4j graph databases.
