Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, we have witnessed the rapid growth of robots. They have been developed to provide services through a wide range of methods for humankind. Thanks to the development of natural language processing and large language models, chatbots and talking robots have slowly become more similar to humans, and have started to physically interact with humans. They are widely employed in various scenarios, such as medical and financial applications, active assisted living, social companionship, cooperative work and even distance education.
Based on these previous statements, this Special Issue has been established to cover the recent trends and advances in chatbots and talking robots. We are looking for state-of-the-art research that covers topics related to chatbots, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Natural language processing;
- Human–robot interactions;
- Advanced technologies used in chatbots and talking robots;
- AI in chatbots.
