Abstract :
The ANR project EmotiRob aims at conceiving and carrying out a soft toy robot which can interact emotionally and cognitively with handicapped and fragile children. However the project MAPH (Active Media For the Handicap) which is an extension of EmotiRob extends the cognitive abilities of the robot so as to implement linguistic interaction with the child. This article presents our work for both projects: speech understanding, emotional interaction, cognitive interaction.
