Abstract :
Robots are integrating more and more into our lives, However, to become an integral part of daily life, they should be socially accepted by humans. Evidently, the acceptance rate will increase as human-robot interaction gets closer to human-human interaction. The article describes the development of a Web based information filtering system, which enables a humanoid robot to initiate interaction with a human by generating human-like daily conversations
