Abstract(in English) This paper describes a conversation system, which can participate and take part in group conversation. Group conversation is a form of conversation in which three or more participants talk to each other about a topic on an equal footing. Group conversation includes many new problems, which are not cared in conventional one-to-one conversation: recognition of message exchange (recognize who is speaking and to whom he is speaking), expression of them to the users and strategy to take part in the conversation. We solved these problems by utilizing multi-modal interface: face recognition, face direction recognition, sound source estimation, and gestural output using real body of the robot. The systematic combination of these functions realized human-friendly group conversation system.
