Abstract(in English) We are researching and developing companion robots that enjoy watching TV with people. In this paper, we consider the required functions of the robot and show about our prototype robot implemented the functions. Our prototype robot extracts keywords from the video, audio and caption data of the TV program and generates utterances related to the keywords. The robot talks with people around it by triggering the robot's utterance. We confirmed that our robot works stably without human intervention through TV-watching experiments.
